    I notice a lot of new reloaders and people starting to reload a new bullet that have questions. I hope you can reach these sites and the info helps. I find reloading books will differ from these...

    I must admit I am pleased to hear reports like that. It's what I found when I started to push out to and beyond 500, and I limited myself quite quickly in hunting situations because of it. But for a...

    Haha, Im a fencer! But this isnt about estimating distance, we were shooting on a range, where exact distance is known. Its about "seeing wind" and making an appropriate correction. Yes at...

    I don't think you can reliably hit targets smaller than about 12" (same maybe as a very large deer?) much over 350M estimating the range . . . I know it's been done but it strikes me as being more of...

    Bunnings Rack-it system is modular and strikes a balance between price amd quality. Easy to install and quite a few accessories can be added like hooks to hang stuff from the sides. 283479
