My 9yo really earned this one. She has been studying up on deer anatomy and has showed awesome discipline behind the trigger. After sitting patently behind the rifle on a red at 95 yards for over...

Centre shoulder shot. Off hand at 80 yards. 80grn Targex drove right through into the off shoulder. I only found shards of copper. Ran a few yards, reared up, and died. 209413

I headed to the range today to try 3 different loads, 1st up were the 73gr ELDM's. I knew I pulled the first shot high and to the right and gave myself a stern talking to at the time because I had...

Took my youngest son for his first real hunt today. Decided not to try and make it there for sunrise. First mistake. Made pancakes for breakfast and then drove to block and started walking around...

Reloaded these for a friend who has begun his journey to the dark side by buying a swedish rolling block in 5070. He lacked the readies, BP and lead so I offered to do it. Cast up a batch of 450...

162eldm out of a tikka at 2770fps, truth is it probably has more killing power than the prc.

Good stuff, last few days a mate shot a decent sized Sika hind at 700 with the 6.4prc/147eldm and smoked it with an impressive exit wound. Tuesday, I watched another mate with a 6.5x55 put a 143eldx...

The trend and best use case for magnums is long heavy for caliber bullets. In 7mm this is 180's. This is right at the edge of magazine length for a S/A. Combine this with a very fat case to get...
