    I load 27.1gn of CFE 223 with 55gn Hornady #2266. I get 2850 fps through a Ruger Ranch with 16” Barrel. Shoots very well with groups often covered with a single patch. Sent from my iPhone...

    7.62x39 is a great round. Ammo can be very cheap, generally easy to find, light recoiling and reasonably effective on medium game. My kids prefer shooting my Ruger Ranch which is surprisingly...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Simon On thread : Down loading 243 win to 6x45 velocities
    Interesting thread. My boys (7&9) are keen to shoot but my Ruger Ranch 223 with a 16” barrel is too noisy / jumpy for them, making them flinch. Yes a suppressor would help and is on my list to...

    Can’t see the supply getting better anytime soon. If anything I think it will get worse. If it comes up and is reasonably priced, buy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I have never seen anything smaller than 2 Moa. I run vortex, holosun and c-more versions on a variety of firearms. Regarding the size of the dot, it is possible to shoot smaller groups than the dot...

    I shoot at the Otorohanga NRA club, 300 to 1000 yards. Good bunch of guys and girls. Bring what you have and have a crack. Equipment helps but practice and familiarity with you firearm helps more...
