I took my boy and the dog into a favourite spot of mine in the weekend. It's a bit of a mission to get to as the access is via an overgrown hunters track. It follows a ridge down into a nice valley...

Brian and my body clocks ticked over another year each a few days ago so a try out last night to see if they are still working was in order... Brian shot a nice boar with his 6.5-06 and had a big...

Love my 22.250 as it falls somewhere between the .223 and .243 and shoots flat too

With these neck shots and the .223 the margin for error can be pretty slim. This was the other night too. You can see it was hit a bit high at 100 yards. Sighted in for 200 and I didn't allow for...

I used a 1/8 twist 223 on deer pretty regularly for 9 years, generally with controlled expansion monolithics. I had a couple of heavier calibers at the time but I normally chose the 223, as I’m a...

Can't speak for anyone else but personally have used a 223 for years during spring summer months and off a machine. Always go a bigger cal in the rut because head or neck shooting with a 223 doesn't...
