There is the 45 silhouette, which is a 45-70 shortened down . And I believe there is a 475-70, which is a 45-70 case full blown and parallel to accept the 475 calibre projectiles ( if my memory...

I m using a trueflite 1 in 9 twist. Talking to Anthony, the owner, he might get a button to make something around the 1 in 6 “ twist at some stage.
The 300 gr SMk stabilise fine with that twist. ...
I could take one of these for a photo shoot near a bunker in Normandy , that would be more authentic . I ll bring it back, promised :-)
Well I am actually waiting for some 338 maker bullet due in April from Owl optics. So until I got these and shoot them I can’t tell you what it does on deer.
So far i have shot 300 gr sierra MK...
Yep what do you want to know.
I use regularly balistic are . And I just got Chairgun elite which replaces strelock. It is a exactly the same with a few extra features.
I also have AB on the kestrel
A mate of mine got one in 6.5 prc, and it is really accurate. He has taken a hind at 750 yards with it.
A bit heavy but with its internal aluminium chassis it is almost like a hunting TRG rifle .
I...

I don’t know why but when I see that stock it reminds me of those cheap pvc coats of the 70’s
That is where a 6.5-300 wsm is not too bad either. The quality brass are around , simple neck down and good speed available with out to much over pressure, and it fits into a tikka mag with slight...
Block of salt, but it depends how much you want to “artificialize” your hunting
Hi, yes I have brought in both muntjacs and roe deer head back here. The roe deer was straight forward. The muntjacs, despite having been shot in 2005 and hanged for 15years on a wall in Europe, had...

Just as an exemple, both barrel had been cut at around 16”.
Looks good. You could almost make your own tikka bolts :-)
Hi , I can take you for a day hunt in the kaimais but it will be end of June or if July as I have pretty much all my free time booked till then.
A mate did that with a 6mm 95gr sst on a fallow doe and her fawn.
I have done it several times with subsonic ammo on goats.
Great. I love the articles in those old mags:
Tried a Johnson gain-twist barrel in 30, in a .30/338 bullgun. Results; undersize bore—about .29975”. Decided to try anyway. No pressure troubles with...
You must not have touched many then or been very unlucky. I pretty much remove tikka barrels weekly and most have anti seize grease on their threads .
The barrel steel or steel treatment of tikkas...
An alternative I thought about was getting a second hand 7 rm or 300 wing mag full length die and cutting off the top ( removing all the neck part from it) and turning down with a lathe bottom maybe...
Double check dimensions, but you might be able to neck down 300 prc brass into 7mm/375..
When stags are early in the roar , with their guts still full of fat, the meat is actually quite good. I have taken the meat of a few like that and they tasted fine.
Where I went in Pureora this weekend was dead quite.
Managed to roar in another hunter.
The place has been raped earlier last week. We found two dead bodies with no heads, and the bastards have...
