    'Sage'...not the Sage of 'annihilate all living or dead Tahr, I trust. For one of the best case lubes in the game, grab a tub of Hornady Unique Case Lube. You'll never stick a case in your die,...

    Greetings Again Ftx325, By now you have realised that handloading is an awfully large barrel that remains part full however much we dip into it. Well done. I agree with the others that recommend a...

    Essential ones are full length resize (some will decap- push the old primer out) and a bullet seating die (some will need tuning as they also do a roll crimp- not always desirable!). You will want...

    Didn't find the episodes great especially it being private land if I remember right. Doesn't represent real NZ hunting. I listen to his podcast and on a whole he's not exactly a big fan of the...
