You are right to question the value of ladder testing as typically carried out, particularly in the present day when consumable costs are pushing reloaders in the direction of attempting to extract...

I tend to get that sort of shift through the difference in shooting position between zeroing and then at the other distances. Dope could well be spot—on.

Notice of new and altered official geographic names and discontinued Crown protected area names for Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa Tāmaki nui-a-Rua Claims Settlement Act 2022...

Yes, a wonderful mentor for so many, myself included. Other favourite rifles in his safe were a 6mm Remington and a .257 Roberts, getting their original review each and then some years later at least...

Sounds a bit like Kumeti, though this is no longer a DoC–run campsite. This season Kumeti has instead become a dumping ground for carcasses, lambs' tails, seafood waste, and burnt tyres. I don't...

If passing through Whanganui and interested in the opportunity to get some photos of birds not often seen out in the hunting grounds, it is worthwhile taking a couple of hours to detour off SH3 to...

Another "like" from a .257 user here, also on a VZ33, and has been my go-to for 35 years, and as such has been responsible for maybe 80% of the deer I've shot. Ranges from 15m to 310m :thumbsup:. I...

Applying a restriction on weight will limit the overall size and so the objective diameter. Hunting the bush is different from glassing on the tops or the stationary viewing of slips in that the...

Thanks for letting us know. Yes, sad news. As with many others from out of town it seems, Wife would go to Brown Sugar while I "will just pop next door for a few minutes" — but of course it never...

I hunted for 20 years with 24-26" barrels (unsuppressed) without hearing protection, and am advised – as above – that I damaged my hearing from the occasional shot, and no doubt I did, but it was...

Yes, interested in this too, taking a medium Palma down to something more "sporting", No.3 or 4.
Din Collings was the one wasn't he — used to start out with all those Douglas straight blanks...

I had said I wouldn't — but I will, since you asked.
ER 3.5-14 ASV scope. The elevation was out, not just by a little bit, but optically tracking at a very consistent 71% across the range from what...

The Leupold 1.5-5x20 has been my preferred bush scope for most of my time hunting. However if you will be swapping around onto a 22LR, with smaller targets, shorter ranges, then maybe quite a number...

Same with IMR4740 here, the nice diethyl ether smell changed to something less pleasant and the interior of the tins rusted out. I had a few tins too, originally from Din no doubt but I think mine...

Thanks Trout. The bellbird in particular didn't stay still for long. For every image like this there were another nineteen that turn out to be just an olive blur. The trusty SX50 used for that one.

"Absolutely no trouble at all Dear" as my Grandmother used to say. As we know that isn't the entirety of the quote, as I don't wish to be thrown off the forum.

Great thread topic.
I have something similar assembled using a 5.5mm drill for a Large Rifle primer pocket gauge. When sanded down to the right amount of taper it won't seat when the primer pocket...

Gkp I have not found any detail of the Terra Nova Laser being single skin; dozens of reviews of the Terra Nova Laser Competition and Terra Nova Laser Compact, both double skinned.
There is...

Keen on the rata flowering just outside the lounge window — until the resident tui realise it is there and move it along ! 10 minutes later it will sneak back in and carry on feeding.

Will tag in onamission for an update then (hopefully)?
Gkp, this is interesting, could you tell us please how the Laser failed and in what circumstances, and if in your view it would be possible to...

Someone has an original model Macpac Eclipse up on Trademe at the moment, and has put up a lot of photos. Looking through these inspired me to have a play around with Photoshop and add a larger...

As mentioned in some private messaging and earlier, this brew is a little firmer than the original, more like Nugget than a shoe cream, with the viscosity as expected being a function of temperature....

If you are wanting to re-melt it into a different container, top up the old tin or similar, then 80-90°C on the stove top will do it, heat applied SLOWLY. I'd avoid an open flame though as it might...

I brewed up the batch last night. 2post has donated some plastic containers for getting the dubbin out to recipients.

This brew is slightly different from the earlier with the following...

If a one litre Systema was used, or a couple of 500 margarine containers, then CourierPost is $10-12.
It's nice to have lids for keeping unwanted material from getting embedded in the surface. ...
