   I would put money on the average american hunter being a better shot than the average NZ hunter. The american practices all year, and hunts once. The NZer hunts all year, and practices once.

   They were early Lehigh .416, 435 grain brass projectiles, the lack of diameter & engraving most likely caused this coupled with the 1-12 twist & 3200 fps. They would slide in the bore getting the...

   My Ex Cryzman 26", 1-7, 22-243 shooting the 90 Bergers at 3100-3300fps is extremely accurate. The trouble starts when the barrel gets warm, the warmer it gets the lower the velocity threshold is...

   I haven't seen the targets but apparently there is a nice round hole with a wee bit out of the top made by the tip. These bullets are extreme, they are 2.312", 58.72mm long with a BC of 1.03

   In Bryan Litzs latest book he says the difference in velocity from slow to fast twist is typically less than the usual ES so basically no difference. Also a faster twist on a bullet gives it a...

   So for any given bullet in theory for the same pressure more velocity should be obtained by a slower twist using less energy and friction to rotate the bullet, what are your experiences with this? ...
