    Cheers Grandpamac, Resting easy myself as nought bigger than 7.7mm in my safe. It is well-known that Cahill is unhappy with what he calls "sniper rifles" out there, so I don't get it what is so...

    Maybe, just maybe, connected with a FB post by Victoria O Brien, New Conservatives, that she has been reliably informed the next buyback is to include semi shotties and bolt actions above .300WMR. ...

    Problem is centering the chamber according to the bore. I understand chamber reamers need a special flexible holder when used in a lathe to allow them to find their own way according to their bore...

    Huntertoo liked post by Cordite On thread : Question regarding some surplus 303
    The HXP ammo was packed ready in 5-round chargers, correct. GC separates the ammo from the chargers and sell separately, in part I'm sure to facilitate them polishing up the ammo for sale. Some feel...

    Maybe because they are mil spec powders, militaries like using ball powders. But a lot of mil spec ammo has inconsistent powder charges. Not the powder's fault. Someone may have a better answer,...
