Hi grandpamac there is a huge following in the states for the 77gr TMK pushed by 8208. One long time shooter and loader claimed better velocities with 8208 than 4895. I have tried both with that...

Nice. I’ve been wanting to get a swfa 3-9 for ages after all the praises they get from the lads on Rokslide. I ended up with an actual Nightforce in the end. The 2.5-10

Good on ya, the can doesn’t detract from that beautiful bit of kit in the slightest. I bet once you use it, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to chop it!

Honestly there are only a couple of items on your list that you’ll buy once. One is your rifle which you already have, and the other is bino’s. The rest of it will be a trial and error journey as no...

Yeah there’s a video of it playing out on a billy goat. Thing to remember is the target was 250yds and beyond, so outside the best impact velocity for that projectile type- first hits at 2200fps and...

Picked up my final project from Alden Carr this morning, my long awaited ‘Remchester’ .358 Win. Metalwork was done by him, with the stock built and checkered by myself. Douglas premium barrel #3...
