    The Europeans were so far ahead of anyone else in this regard, 6x57 in 1895, 6.5x57 1893, 7x57 1882, 8 x57 1888 then there's the 9, 9.3, and 10.75 all on the same case. The widely used .473 case...

    Anyone that is worried, it's simple. Once a year go to your Dr and get a blood test. Forget what you read. Stop making assumptions. Find out if your blood pb levels are unacceptable high. ...

    Tahr, with all due respect I've been working with toxic substances for years. I'm not reading that. I've been studying these substances for years. What you all seem to miss is its all about the...

    Beware what you wish for. Because it could very well be bye bye eld-m and eldx in the next decade like it is about to happen in the UK. Does anybody know of anyone dying of lead poisoning via...

    Lot of things worse for you than the lead in jacketed bullets. Unless you are on the terminal end. Hope the lead fearing people also avoid plastic tipped bullets and use lead free primers.

    When did the unbraked law change to 750kg max? Always was 2000kg when I was in the industry up until 3 years ago. The unbraked & braked weights that are written on towbars are based on the Aussie...

    I have used mine in the bush quite a bit (25mm lens/640 sensor). Bloody effective. I stalk just as I normally would but every now and then scan with the thermal, just as I would with binos. Amazing...

    Hah. I had no hunting edge to lose. Except my knife’s edge. I’ve always used aids. Binos, dogs, mates, luck. Hearing aids. Walking aids. Carrying aids. Thermal is just another tool. Bring it on.

    What woods223 said, if it's mostly bush work get something with a 25mm objective lens or less. Most will still range out to 1000m for some tops or open field work but have a decent field of view for...

    There's a lot of variations on the old traditional meat hunting carry method, but this one looks interesting. One things for sure, the older you get, the heavier the animals get, especially after a...
