    Posting this if it can help some lefty. There is no left handed option for the KRG Bravo. It still can be done if you have access to a mill or CNC. I machined the chassis and the plastic stock...

    He probably won't pay for the powder so less is more in that regard. Cases are hard to get guess that's why his cases are fire formed win 348 ones a bit fiddly and you loose the odd one but at least...

    akaroa1 liked post by Norway On thread : Chamois hunt in Austria
    Same game, but a little different. Most notable is that I'm not allowed to go alone and what animal I can shoot is strictly controlled. Would have prefered to do it in NZ, but 33 hours flight makes...

    208217 Fairly good groups at 100m. It's pretty hold sensitive being such a light rifle but it's fine for hunting out to 200m imo

    I ran my new MP 415gn hollowpoint (pentagonal cone shape) across the radar yesterday. These had cc1 200 primers, 'cost effective' winchester brass (10th cycle), N130 VV powder. Carefully waiting 4min...

    akaroa1 liked post by mudgripz On thread : Marlin Ballard restoration
    Reversible pin setup rather clever. I think Marlin continued with Ballard rifling - no doubt with changes - for over 100 years. From mid 1950s they did change their rimfires to the new microgroove...

    akaroa1 liked post by Pommy On thread : Fill length resizing not using expander button.
    If you do not use an expander (or a mandrel), then you'll obviously leave the necks undersized. More or less depending on the brand of the die and thickness of the brass. You are not working the...
