From that table looks like the 80-85gr bullets would be the go for up to red spikers and hinds. I used H414/W760 with 85-87gr bullets from an 18" barrel 243 but that was before I had a crony. ...

Birds in a shed, sounds like a good job for a 177. Medium power only or you will shoot holes in the tin. Spring/gas spring as you don't have to worry about varying drops. But that Cannon 737 multi...

I use a Markhor 35ltr for day and light overnighting. It's a great little pack with lots of features, pockets etc so you can get to stuff easily without dumping everything out. Including 2 on the...

I did a lot of shooting with a Sav 99 in 243. ended up at 18" barrel due to crown damage and a rust pit. Had the same complaints from my mates. Flame thrower, loud and good shock wave. I found H414...

I would say don't confuse show ring breeders with trials breeders. I have a hunting lines setter and he is very different from a show dog. Both come from breeders, just with different aims. At least...

Just to be pedantic some parts in inland Otargo / Canterbury can go from -10 to plus 40 C. Not that I know many guys who would be hunting in Plus 40 C, can't see any meat keeping for long and the...
