Better results if you run it through a 7mm08 or 260 Rem die first. Shoulder to neck angle on the 243 is pretty steep compared to the 308 so I would also anneal the brass first. As mentioned,...

What say you all? Looking around the internet there seems to be two different data sets for each projectile weight, one being very anemic and one with a bit more spice. I'm guessing there's a lot of...

Divide 25,000 mm by 530 = 47.17 (approx). Divide 150mm x 47.17 = 3.17mm front sight height change.

I’m inspired. Got the 6.5x55 in the Ute and I’m off for the night. 10 rounds of 140 grn Gold Dot should do some damage if I do my bit. Realistically I should only need one or two. Really, I’m more...

It surprises me that 6.5x55 is mentioned in this thread as possibly being redundant. Tikka still make them (as does Blaser). There must be thousands of the M96 & 93 ex service rifles in NZ. Mine is...

We actually saw that issue in action the previous week. A guy was shooting some piss-weak .308 ammo at 1000yds and nothing registered.
