    Greetings gadjetman, 1 litre almost exactly measures 100 x 100 x 100 or 1 cubic decimetre so your hole had a capacity of 18 litres. A 44 UK gallon drum holds a little over 200 litres. Clearly your...

    Greetings dannyb, Rather than lusting after powders you don't have and probably can't get why not just go with the AR2208 that you do have. Almost all military cartridges for the 30-06 were loaded...

    Greetings caberslash, I deliberately used the word "English" rather than "British" as you likely noticed. Even NZ's military first bolt action repeater was a Remington Lee in .43 Spanish. I believe...

    Greetings All, Agree with the last few posts. Marksmanship is only developed through practice. I used to be a reasonable shot in our club competitions and even had my name engraved on a few...

    Greetings All, Interesting that Lee and Ross, designers of two of the rifles most associated with the .303 cartridge, were born in Scotland and died in the US. The Lee and Ross rifles were chambered...
