Some brands of shell holders will accept 308 sized brass and 6.5x55. A few years ago I upgraded my shellholders and now use a RCBS #2 or a Redding E-Z #7 for the Swede. The Redding E-Z #7 will fit...

Sounds like you have it sussed. Case just lengthened thru the process and not a huge issue but does defeat the purpose of a FL resize if your are being picky. Did you get a body die with the set?...

I reckon a number of you are kidding your selves, there’s no ‘political agenda’ here, the facts speak for them selves; there’s miles too many deer in NZ. The collapse of the recovery industry and a...

This isn’t a political issue, yet you fellas are intent on turning it into one. The majority of the farmers want deer numbers reduced. I’d say the significant majority of them don’t vote for...

Seems like a pretty long bow to draw, to compare Moa and deer and come to the conclusion they had a similar impact on the bush. They might have a similar browse height but the crucial thing when...
