As you would know there are several versions (at least 4) of .303/.22 kicking about. The full length version was the falcon, based on the original / not improved case. The other FL version on the...

My last few CAC factory loaded (for NRANZ) had turned into click bangs. Very high risk of a projectile lodging in the barrel. I bought that ammo in 1970. It was well stored in my Mum's garage (she...

About 3yrs ago I packed all my reloading stuff into a plastic bin with 6 clips that seal the lid as I was done reloading for the foreseeable future. Care was taken that everything was wrapped/packed...

I'm still using powder from 1942, a variant of IMR4895. Smells good, looks good, works well. Nothing wrong with older powder if it has been stored well. There is no real use by date. Armies around...

I'd look for something under 8x for bush hunting. I have a pair of Kowa 6.5x32 BDIIs and they are excellent binos. Super wide FOV and 6.5x is more than enough for spotting animals even at a few...
