   gimp liked post by Stocky On thread : A question for the doubters

   I'll wager $20 and a beer afterwards that in field positions you aren't putting 10 shots in a 1 inch target at 100 with the rifle capable of launching a 169 at 3200fps. I'm not saying that just...

   If you haven’t previously used a 22 centrefire with 77TMK, 73, 80 or 88gr ELD-M, then take one of them hunting. Why? Well it’ll do the job, and you may just enjoy it.

   The top two pictures are my grandfather's axe of a 6.5 Creedmoor. It started out life as a Hogue stocked, stainless standard 22' barrel rifle. Shot a lot of stuff with it. Bought a new factory...

   Gimp is onto it. Considering the .223 v .308 debate here, I would pick the .223 every time. It will drift less, and therefore will show less ‘variance’ from expected POI if the wind call is...

   Different bullets have different profiles which results in manufacturers giving them different suggested COAL's. The suggested COAL for the bullet should give it plenty of jump in any SAAMI/CIP...

   Unreal, I watched my mate kill a red hind tonight at 387 yards with a 73gr ELD-M from his howa mini. Using loads I worked up for him- only doing 2700gps from the 16” barrel. Impressive performance...

    And here is the latest evidence this approach just plain works. A 6mm ARC barrel that I'd shot for 200 rounds or so, showed promise as an ARC with the 103s but never "properly tested". Rechambered...

    Two things can be true at the same time. I shoot a 260 and it's great, even has a little better performance the 6.5cm. I'm not going to recommend it to a new shooter though as their choice of...

    I would go 6.5 Creedmoor and use it for everything. A 6mm, 25 cal or 6.5mm is a big enough bullet for any game in NZ. 30-06 isn't going to do anything for you other than recoil more. 308 is similar...
