    Too long ago I re-caught the BP bug of akaroa1 - only was 2-3 years ago I scored a Gracia New Zealand made percussion rifle in 45. Finally go round to shooting it today, it's a crappy sort of...

    ZQLewis liked post by BSA On thread : What to do with my Winchester 70?
    Re-barrel, keep it in the .308 family. My choice .358 Win for something different and a very under estimated cartridge. Energy delivered at the business end compared to the .308 is quite something....

    ZQLewis liked post by TLB On thread : 16 pointer + 243 = FAIL!
    Interesting aye. Once upon a time perhaps but with modern powders and projectiles things change. Projectile choice is everything. My .243 with 105gr targex has more energy out further than my .308...

    ZQLewis liked post by lau lau On thread : Advice Needed: Choosing Caliber for Open Tops Hunting
    For that distance 243, 6.5 creed, 7mm08 and 308 will do the job with readily available factory ammo. I'm use my 223 and 6ARC out to 250meters on fallow, withe the magnums for longer distance

    Certainly destroyed the target - my dog would run up all excited then just stand there looking at the carnage before looking at me with the 'you want it you pick it up' face

    ZQLewis liked post by DPT On thread : Exceeding cartridge limit for suppressor?
    If its a dpt non magnum you are running on a magnum rifle, its definitely not suitable no matter how many baffles you run. You will be over pressuring the rear chamber.

    Bang on. I literally have no count for the number of Tahr I've shot dead on the spot with .243, 0-300. Right mix of pills too: 85sp, 90 scirocco, 100 prohunter, 95 sst, 95 berger, 95 targex, 105...

    Quick question @Maunga tei tei Have you been Thar hunting? Because honestly any jacketed soft point from a 6mm bore and upwards will work just fine. I have shot quite alot of Thar and 90% of the...

    ZQLewis liked post by Steelisreal On thread : Short barrels and full powder burn?
    When it comes to standard centrefire rounds, all the powder *that is going to be burnt* is consumed within the first few inches of the barrel. No powder ever burns 100% of the kernels inside the...
