I’d probably shoot a single shot ladder with 2209. 54 to 55.5 and 0.5 gn increments. 4 shots and see if there is a sweet spot and where it sits relative to your 54 and 55.5 gn imr loads. Either...

If you’re only intending to shoot 300ish meters then don’t worry too much about ES or SD numbers - a 130gr sst doing 3000fps vs 2900fps only has a touch over an inch difference in drop at 300m. Even...

I’ve beaten around the bush, and tried a few. Have finally bought a thermarest xtherm nxt after going through Klymit, sea to summit, and nemo mats. All have their merits in my opinion. My two cents...

Well my lad had a challenging trip got well up into the tops, only saw (3) reds on the trip. Saw sign in patches - probably more pig sign than he expected. Lots of wind fall and fairly recent he...

Another vote for Exped. Got one reasonably recently, used it a couple of times - no complaints.

Won’t get an update on how the Lower Windley trip was until Sunday night I spent a night in the LW hut last year and there wasn’t a lot of sign on the flat. Usual story up there deer don’t tend to...

I've got an exped downmat and really rate it. Light, v warm and comfortable. Without wanting to jinx anything, I'm 94kg and it has lasted 5 years (I think) without rupture so far.

I have used the expeds, no problems. Have old self inflating thermarests use on camp stretchers under mattress's now and they must be 30yrs plus. Would recommend going to a wide mat for the bit...

Thermarest Xtherm is the best you can get warmth wise, heavy fabric underneath and lighter fabric on top. They aren't the lightest but are pretty good weight wise, you won't regret spending the...
