    If you run out of capacity before a powder gives you the pressure you want then yes, switch to a faster powder. But if you take a few samples of different factory loadings for different cartridges, a...

    I would guess "holds on to the chamber better " and due to less stretch than brass there would be less or no more bolt thrust. Modern steel ( and some old steel ) can easily contain chamber...

    My father is getting like this. The deer decimate his corn and do a good number on the hay yet he feeds them through the winter. We hunt the farm but he doesn’t want us to kill very many of them....

    The recoil claim does have merit, as powder has mass and is being thrown out along with the bullet. Graph below from shooterscalculator.com... 175gr bullet at 3000fps in a 9lb rifle. Only change...

    spooner covered that though and it does because it about the amount of powder being burnt rather then pressure like most people think uses alot less powder so makes sense either way you look at it...

    I'm all for some sort of payment, although the reality is doc have no budget and 3rd party groups do a lot of the work on these basic huts / bivs (back country trust, nzda, fmc, even 4x4 groups,...

    Not that i use huts a lot but I don't like the idea of a booking system . It has always been first come first served and make room for late comers'. Imagine staggering in well after dark cold wet and...

    The thread "Snow on The Kawekas" by grandpamac had me posting a few photo's up in reply. Then BRADS recognised a hut in one of them, Aranga Hut. AKA "Hut Ruin" which was an ominous name of things to...

    I have a Hausken 184 extreme on my 8x57 with a 20“ barrel and can directly compare it to a standard dpt on a 20“ barrel on a 308. My impression is that the Hausken is more efficient, if this is of...

    Sorry but that has everything WRONG with it, it's a "cut away" rather than a scaled action. The action diameter and large barrel shank mean the stock has to be full size through the area where your...
