How does it go, pretty reasonable ballistics for the cartridge size eh

Has anyone done anything with the newer high BC 25 cal bullets as yet? I think BlackJack has stopped production, but Berger has the 135gr.

Took my just 10 year old out for his first goat yesterday arvo.

Cracking day to wander around a nice farm with binos and the 223.

He shot his first goat, and we ended up with a mixed bag of...

G'day Lazza, welcome to the forum, its certainly pretty easy for life and kids to make it hard to get out at times, Im 51 with two kids 11 and 9, and they are always busy with multiple sports and...

That's exactly the length I run my 162 Amax load at

Nice, I havnt tried them in my SAUM as yet, I'll have to give them a whirl. I'm standard remmy Twist rate thou, but may get away with it.

What OAL are you running them at Pongo12

Most of the deer i shoot are at some distance, most are 400 yards or beyond, I hunt places where i target slips and clearings, so generally will fit my bipod and suppressor for these shots. My 7mm...

Heard a couple of stags roaring right on dark as we were walking out of the mid/northern Ruahines on Wednesday night, laid eyes on a couple of stags and a couple of hinds, mate shot a nice even...

It looks to be in too nicer condition to have been handled by too many people that didn't actually own it themselves

It looks identical to the 243 I aquired for my father a few years back. Good find alright.

It'll be 1:12. But if it shoots anything like my dad's 243 of the same era, it'll be a keeper.

There is currently bugger all places to hunt public land around the Hawkes Bay currently, you can't get out Taupo Rd, can't get out Taihape Rd, and cannot get out to the Makahu end of the Kawekas...

Awesome, handy little rifle, and a promising neat little cartridge.

What length is the barrel?

I did one a couple of years back, it came up really well. Made it much nicer looking and to handle.

Yeah they feed fine, just cheap nasty plastic crap, but thats what ya get for the price I guess

Yep, many of us have been doing this for years, as well as shortening and thinning up the stupidly long and chunky factory stocks, nice barreled actions, but the mags and stocks are total arse.

When i was testing factory ammo in my dads 18.5" barreled 243, when i was developing a handload for it, 100gr Federal blue box was running over the chrony at just 2600 fps, I got my 100gr handload...

Yup I hear ya mate

The recon came to an abrupt holt 3 weeks ago, I now cannot get to my hunting spots due to washed-out roads and bridges. Prior to this I had seen the biggest stag i have even seen on Public land, I...

Yeah hard case eh, it's fairly steep on that face, we expected it to tumble down.

A good mate Nick has just moved back to the Hawkes Bay after 3 years living away in the SI. He's all out of veni, he'd even eaten a whole rear leg that I gave him 10 days ago off the last one I shot...

My dad has an original 18.5" barreled M7 in 243. I cronied the 100gr Fed blue box and it was 2600 fps, I got 100gr SGK handloads doing just shy of 2900 fps using 7828 ssc, but she was a flame thrower...

Farkin Gold!

Nice, pretty cool and different cartridge, which I like, I'm sure it'll kill deer just the same as a 120 NBT fired from your 708 or a 6.5 CM /260 etc

Happy New Year

I'd do it the other way around, make sure it was perfectly zeroed for the longer range load, thats the one that really matters, you will likely find that the short range load will be close but off a...
