Not easy admitting you failed to take good advice, but here it is... For a long time I was after a subsonic centrefire. Ended up with a Bergara BA13 in 300BLK. Lovely little rifle. Because I don't...

I've shot quite a few goats with the 22Wmr. Best bullet was the fiocchi 40 grain followed by the winchester 40 and 100 yds would be the absolute max. Small goats fall over easily but a big Billy or...

Forster and Lee are the best FL dies I have used with the stock expander. I too polish them to a mirror finish. The worst I have used are Hornady (243, 7mm08, 308), and a newish Redding FL die in...

I had a similar experience, with my wife, when I was instructing. She knew nothing about firearms, but listened intently, and passed with a 100% result. Often young men failed the test, while nearly...

And while I remember - I follow Mule Deer's (the writer John Barsness) 308 load philosophy - take a 150 to 165 gn projectile, stick 46.0 gns AR2208/Varget and go shoot it, 99% of the time its a...

I agree with these views. Have been trialing a 22WMR for 6 months or more now - can be very accurate, bit more range than 22LR, and def a hard-hitting little rimfire. Next step however will be a...
