Give the heavier projectiles a go anyway. I shot 75gr A Max out of a 1:9 Marlin XS7. Tiny groups. Have been experimenting with 88gr ELD's out of a 1:8 Howa and have had them group well, no indication...

I wouldn't worry about it
Ever since I started carrying a PLB and a Tourniquet (and learning how and when to use it), I've felt a lot more at ease out there. I like having redundancy with my gear when I can too.
I'd use the game kings up close because they are cheaper lol. I have killed 4 deer with them. A couple of reds at 240m kept going for a bit before dying, TMK is probably better suited for that kind...
I shot a Sika yearling with an SKS, before phones had decent cameras, so no photos. A clean in and out hole through the lungs, and a neck shot to finish it off. Barnaul 125gr soft point.
Odd, as...
.235 G1 is about right for the 55gr flat base soft point. The boat tail may be marginally better. I have shot the flat base ones on game and targets out to 500m with repeatability, with muzzle...
I think the projectiles may be Hornady Interlocks. Fiocchi load some of there ammo with Hornady pills.
Yup. To be honest I've thought about selling up and just getting a little Suzuki petrol 4x4. Diesel's are cool until something goes wrong.
I use Morey's diesel smoke killer in my modern diesel, more so to help keep the injectors clean, and hopefully keep diesel bug at bay. Had to replace my Injectors and Injector pump last year. It is...
Certainly this result is a unique and one shot opportunity to turn things around for the better. The shit canning of the clubs and ranges regs will be massive relief to many committees and range...
Good going with the gold dots. I have two cans of Belmont ammo loaded with the 62's and they don't shoot well in any rifle I've tried. I have handloaded the 75's. Have not shot a deer with them, but...
They would do it just fine until after ChCh before everyone wanted to be seen to be doing something. Would be prudent to start bugging certain people to put pressure on them to get their act together...
Pistol grip makes it better for prone shooting. Look at the grip or grip angle on every firearm stock that isn't based on an antique design.
Honestly I think they are just winging it to be seen to be doing something. Alot of this data they are collecting will be worthless and might even work against them in a prosecution.
They'll probably work fine
While true, it leaves everyone else high and dry. And they didn't have the forethought to give competitive shooters the option to get licensed to keep using them.
It we cut the pleasantries, the only reason this would be appealing, would be to have something somewhat close to what we had before 2019. If it got banned for whatever reason - oh well. Everything...
If ammo existed and it wasn't horrendously priced, and someone made an AR in it that was legal here. Yea.
If it was bolt action only na I'll just shoot 223.
If it was in a semi it would need...
Lol and on top of it, this is probably also an "activation event" for the recipients.
I've heard of people using them with cast loads. Safer just bending over for factory ammo if you are at this point.
It seems like they have cobbled together a system to record Tikka's and Howa's and everything else is just an afterthought. I wonder just actually how useful some of this data will be to police and...
Real quick, anyone run these out of a 1:12 twist 223?
If I break the rules slightly, I was gifted a Maverick 88 when I was a teen. So about 17 years.
With my own hard earned it would be a tie between my 10/22 and my Mosin (got them at the same time)....
Imagine still arguing about 6.5 Creedmoor in 2023.
It's warm but safe. I have shot most weights up to 68gr with 26gr of 2206H. You can't fit much more than that behind a 68/69gr bullet.
