    If it was me, I would buy a second hand rifle off here that is proven to shoot well from someone who will let you shoot it with them and coach you a bit. For a combination of rifle price and ammo it...

    For the time being, unless you don't mind burning money or you're a very clever shopper, do your best to steer clear of 6.5mm and potentially 7mm. Ie. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Swede, 7mm08 etc. The range...

    ....you're over thinking things. Get a 308, get some factory ammo, and go hunting. Reloading is a rabbit hole to go down later on....

    Pilchards are good bait but very soft, one nibble and your bait is gone. You might be better off using something tougher like squid or mullet.

    Absolutely it is. If you wanted to play with seating depth that may increase the accuracy, or not. Either way 1” is as good as most rifles/ person combination get. What’s of more consequence is...

    Does' nt make any logical sense that it groups under 1moa at 100 ; thus meeting warrenty; but shoots wildly at 200. . There is another "remote" possibility, as follows:-- If tbe aiming mark is...

    The best calibre/chambering is one which has a cheap and plentiful supply of ammunition. See a lot of guys building wildcat superguns but they rarely get fired, think Schwerer Gustav, looks great...
