Re Holding Forend. For me thats a jury is still out decision. Heavy rifle possibly with a small caliber and and I believe you can get away without holding the fore end which gives you a hand free...

as above, Trailboss and the heaviest bullet you can get. 243 with 8gr TB and 105gr is just subsonic but I'm not comfortable shooting with a case thats only 60% full so did not continue. (OK...

I do that with my 243. Take 6-10 rounds of the lightest varmint bullet I can, ie 6mm x 55 or 58 gr Vmax etc over trail boss. depending upon how much powder I stuff in that gives me 1500-2300 fps, ...

Last year my son got a Steyr Prohunter 223 with the medium barrel in S/S. Has the set trigger and 3 way safety. I'm really impressed with it. easy to shoot and shoots well. Stock is plastic but is...

other question would be, Why do you feel you need a 7mm rem mag as a carry rifle? OK if you expect to be shooting past 400 mtr regularly then fine but to me that's not a job for a light carry/back...

I would always suggest the following. 223 goats and fallow which are both common in the taranaki Wanganui areas. My sons both got their first deer down that way with a 223. They just spent Saturday...

NB The Gen IV hardy's had the 3 forward facing slots in the front. The later Gen V and Gen VI ones don't. I have brought 3 hardy's with never a problem, Gen 5 (243) and Gen 5 Stealth (223 & 243)...

Trail boss should be good in the short barrel as its a fast burning powder developed for pistols. Any idea what velocity you were getting with 9 gr. 8gr in my 243 had a 105 gr vld about 1050 fps. ...

second call for trail boss. safe, well known and hard to get it wrong. 10 gr give me 1450 fps in my 358Win on a 158gr pistol bullet. 12 gr gives me 2400 fps in my 243 on a 58 gr vmax. both do...
