    csmiffy liked post by Jhon On thread : Loaded Rifle
    At the NZDA Hunter Training Course a couple of winters past I learned something moot. I too grew up on a 303 SMLE with a half open bolt. What I learned was a Mauser action can still fire on half...

    Padox, I feel that in the interests of personal safety you should cease using the rifle immediately and to help you out, I will come down to Tarras with the 2506AI and shoot the Fallow bucks for you...

    Squirt a few drops of oil down the muzzle leave upright for an hour then tap with a piece of wood or plastic headed hammer. Or tap a cleaning rod down the barrel. Good luck.

    csmiffy liked post by Tahr On thread : Hammer Damage
    Back of the neck at 200. Ouch. They are the most effective bullet I have ever used but ruin a lot of meat. I’ve got some 64 grn coming for the .223. They were comparatively expensive but with the...

    Geoff Foster, he brought it after Adrian Mayberry’s accident to keep it going, had it for 5 years then sold it to go back flying.

    Keep in mind also that you will need to completely ream the chamber again and flatten the face of the shank as the bergaras have a completely different setup with a recess on the face of the shank...

    csmiffy liked post by Tahr On thread : 222 vs 22-250
    Its probably been covered, but most 22-250 are 1/14 twist which limits them in bullet weight. I had one and it wouldn't stabilise 60 grn. I shot the barrel out using 55 grn at 3,500fps on hares,...
