    Greetings canross, I had the same dilemma with my first shoots having only ever shot on the range at 300 yards and that many years ago. 300 yards is a bit of a doddle as a 200 metre zero will get...

    Well lets hope so. I went for a medical for my 75 year olds drivers licence renewal today. I did not do so well on the memory tests but still enough to pass. Eye sight, however, easily passed...

    Greetings Marty Henry, Thanks for your heads up. Regrettably there a number of rifles here already that don't get out much so although I really like the cartridge I can't see how I would use another...

    Greetings, Good to see the 7mm SAUM still trucking along. It seems to be quite popular with F-class as well as custom builds for hunting rifles. I hope to use my Sendero at 1,000 yards next season....

    Greetings, Velocity loss when shortening a barrel is highly variable. For my .308 with AR2206H I allow 20fps per inch from the Hodgdon 24 inch barrel data down to my 20 inch barrel using the same...
