    Bill999 liked post by Hunter_Nick On thread : JW15 trigger overtravel
    This has got to be the single best thing I’ve done to my JW15. It’s a great little rifle and quite accurate, but the 4 miles of overtravel in the trigger has always annoyed me. Just didn’t feel like...

    Yep. Not suprised by the numbers. Sounds like my 308 will be heading off for a barrel chop, half cock installed. Cheers team!

    Bill999 liked post by Flyblown On thread : 308 subsonic
    It’s a common response and fair enough really. Here’s some thoughts. Firstly, fallow and goats aren’t big game. They’re on the small end of medium game. That’s a nitpick but relevant. We’re not...

    I pulled this one out of a fallow spiker shot quartering strongly towards, through the base of the neck and into the spine, deflected down and through the lungs. Found it in the cavity around the...

    Bill999 liked post by StrikerNZ On thread : JARD .17 WSM Reliability Issues
    Sounds like about time to insist on a refund. Clearly some form of fault in the rifle, not really reasonable to expect you to put up with the misfires and replacing firing pins every 3 months.

    Bill999 liked post by Shearer On thread : First attempt at reloading. Thoughts please.
    I assume you weren't getting any pressure signs even at 42.5gns? I would usually work up until things started looking hot and then look back from there.

    If you're careful, try lapping the bolt to the raceways so its as smooth as it can get. Also "smoothing" or putting a gentle radius on the lower rear of the bolt to help it ride over the hammer...

    Bill999 liked post by garyp On thread : Help in Auckland required. Snapped scope ring bolt
    Get a little tiny sharp screwdriver and tap one side of the stubb to turn it out. Put a drop of penetrating oil or acetone ( nail polish remover) on it and leave it a few minutes before trying.
