    Update. Still very happy with how these projectiles shoot. Great plinking and service rifle round and cheap to boot. I was shooting them the other weekend at 200m and could easily keep them in a...

    Moa Hunter liked post by Simon On thread : Anyone have a hardys carbon barrel on their rifle? After info on break in procedure
    New rifles, I give the barrel a good clean to get rid of the preserving oil then I just shoot them. Normally I just put a few solvent soaked patches through to clean and then a lightly oiled patch....

    300CALMAN liked post by Simon On thread : Sulun TAC-12
    I brought the 14” model as well. Holds 5 plus 1 so all good with capacity. Like the shorter length when shooting a stage and with the chokes, you loose hardly anything. 100% function with...

    Guess that’s why it’s still called hunting. If it was easy, then you would be going out for a shoot. Picking going for a shoot would not be as enjoyable as going for a hunt.. Sent from my...

    Shot my Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39 last weekend at 200m at 8” steel plates with a 2moa red dot using mixture of FMJ. Shooting prone I scored hits at least 90% of the time. Misses were generally my fault....
