    His rifles are pretty good. I had one of his prototypes and shot 10 shot single hole groups at 100m. Not sure what they are worth, but there aren't made anymore. It's an interesting design for...

    I buy all.my cast projectiles from someone else. I have all the gear to cast my own, but it's cheaper and easier for me to get them from someone else. The only ones I cast are the .459...

    I loaded for years with a single stage press, but now load with a Square Deal press. Much easier but I've learnt lots along the way. Crushed plenty of cases and figured out that the old cases are a...

    What's the barrel length. And what a clean bench. I wish mine was that tidy. Actually I wish I could find the bench.

    And I've only ever shot lead through mine. CAS rules so thats just the way it is. Lead projectiles are much cheaper also

    Yes reloading is the most economical way to shoot it, if you can find the brass. There is bound to be someone up that way who could load some ammo for you.

    I will flag the 208gr or heavier. Will stick with the 150gr ones. And then leave it with the 8.5gr trail boss at 1040fps. Might have to modify slightly with cast projectiles but not by much if any

    I carry the same. Whilst not ideal in summer, I carry some tracer rounds for signalling if I get lost. And aside from what people think, tampons are not good for wound management.

    I never use anyone elses reloads. Had one where i had to use a hammer to open the bolt, and another shotgun round where i was lucky it was the bottom barrel or else it would have breached. Had to...

    I give all of the animal away aside from a few feeds for me. I'm the only one that eats it so its wasted if I keep it. Years ago I threw out about 40+kg cause it got freezer burn and went off. ...

    I know of someone who casts the lyman and lee mould ones. I have a mould for the Lee one if that helps. It's a little rusted, and a little rough, you can have it if you do any casting.
