    Mathias liked post by Bagheera On thread : Bullet construction - what to you use for deer?
    Nosler ballistic tip 7mm 140gr (a Frangible cup and core ). I'm not into "saving meat"; the most wasted meat is the one that gets away. In my opinion. I like it to open up fast and make a big...

    WallyR liked post by Bagheera On thread : A novel approach to Load Development
    I think this approach acknowledges that even a single 5 shot group has quite a variable size and limited predictive value for the long term average size for a given load. Rather than firing 5 x 5...

    I'd suggest steering clear of spots near private land as farmers will quite rightly be concerned and could be a lot more trouble than DoC or the police.

    Have a look around there are a couple of other threads on this recently plus one on short range sighting in. Checking your gun is still sighted in would only take 3 or 6 shots or even 1 and...

    dannyb liked post by Bagheera On thread : Sako why no 223 ???
    What's this all about then ? With the amount you've spent buying and selling guns you could afford a sako 85 in 223. My opinion is that the 85 action is better than the old vixens. 3 lug =...

    res liked post by Bagheera On thread : new scope on a modest (low) budget
    Got it in one. Optic clarity is the NOT only important thing. VX-1 are certainly not the best to look through but they ARE rugged, they DO hold zero and adjust where you tell them and the...

    Mathias liked post by Bagheera On thread : 100 days after paying
    For comparison, I had a barrel fitted by a lesser known north island gunsmith and had it back within a week, job done. I did pay for the barrel and arrange for it to be delivered to the Smith. I'd...
