You're a blouser owner! You can't fight, might break a nail

I know of them. I'll ask a mate when I see him next.

You boys play nicely now! Toby be careful who you pick on pal, R93 was part of the mean green fighting machine that Neckshot, Dundee and I werevpart of so picking on him should worry you as Neckshot, Dundee and I have his back.

Yep and Perrazi (spelling) is Poo Art See.


Only cause I can afford neither. Tried shooting an F3 and a P gun, Didin't magically turn me into the worlds best sporting clays shooter (more the opposite really) so I gave them back

Apparently Shooters Supplies in ChCh have a Merkel (model unknown) with 2 barrels and supressor for around 5k.

And the biggest reason NOT to buy a Blouser is the service from the local agent from what I have heard from several people

Fantastic historic setup. Great to see it gets out for a blast now and then, well done!

Well,that went pretty well

I can lend you a die set if you want.

My old one liked 168s at 2750fps.

I would have got some 3006 dies and had a play with the old mans one but it shoots blue box fed really well and he only uses probably 3rounds a year these days.

Anyone played with 130 Barnes in a 06 or 06ai ?
3300-3400fps ?

I've always had good results from my 3006. It is a pretty light rifle and not plesant to shoot off the bench, but can't say I've ever noticed any recoil lining up on an animal. From memory nothing has ever taken more than a couple of steps.
I do always enjoy reading the banter of cartridge X vs cartridge Y, however if I was starting from scratch again I would probably go with a more efficient cartridge. The 06s authority cannot really be argued with though for NZ class animals.

Cheers for the offer but hardly worth it for the amount it gets used.

OK boys and girls
Just came back from running a few loads through my BSA Majestic 24" barrel using 150gr Interlocks and 63.5gr RE 19 which is quite a stout load, over the Chronie at 3020fps with a variation of 5 -17fps which ain't too bad. Good grouping at an inch so a massive hunting load. Same loads through my BSA Monarch 18 1/2" Barrel 2690fps average, group size actually came down from my normal bush load for this rifle and into less than an inch so pretty happy with that, I just had to know what I was getting after reading this thread. I loaded a few 220gr pills as well and got 2440fps but with a little load development could probably do better but fuck it, I don't need any better so I will spare my rifle and shoulder the wear and tear

the first rifle I shot was a Weatherby Vanguard in 30-06 and it definitely let you know when the hammer had dropped.
My latest acquisition is a Husqvarna 30-06 circa 1970s courtesy of the guys at Mainly Hunting in Welly. Saw it and wanted it, beautifully smooth bolt action in a classic mauser action weighing in around 8lbs bare.
I had a new Hogue recoil pad fitted and with 180gr Federal Blue it recoils softer than my 308 Rem.
Love it and cant ever see selling it.
