Decided to take the .410g for a stroll up the creek on the boundary last night. I barely got 50m before kicking up a nice cock pheasant, I got a shot off at about 40m and it dropped clean but...

Lead boolits may shoot straight in a worn bore especially with a fast powder and with heavy boolits at slower muzzle velocity. shooternz does those. I'd try those before considering rebarreling or...

I’d be patch testing acetone. Shouldn’t react with the epoxy and be enough to remove the paint

Back on the farm and off up the back for a hunt. We’ve had a run of hard, heavy frosts, been deadly cold at night. But then the rain came, and the wind changed and I worked out an approach into one...

My 336 Marlin as the first "right " rifle for me, I`m left handed and had been using a right hand P/ H .308 bolt action for a bit so when I saw them at Reloaders for $400 I grabbed one. It was blued...

A .357 lever action should work well. You can run .38 special in it to quiet it down, short and handy in the bush with quick follow up shots.

22 mag ammunition has improved a hell of a lot. It's personal preference now I think 17 is flatter shooting but more wind susceptible 22 keeps energy better past 100 m. Ammunition price is close to...

Yes the .450 has the potential to shoot 400gr subs. The targeting I focus on with subs is shooting for the central nervous system. And that doesn’t need much in the way of brute force. I’d far...
