Most FAL holders don't have a 6mm steel gun cabinet. The normal commercial A Cat gun cabinet has 2mm sides and back. It's only soft steel made in the PRC which small bolt heads could rip through. As...

The practice with a .22 will translate to some degree but its generally better to practice with a centerfire if your aiming to shoot centerfire. What's your aim for this firearm? Im wondering if it...

I have put down cows and bulls with a 308, 7.62 and 12 ga. I have shot a lot of goats with 308 subsonics. A bull is a tough animal with thick skin, bones and muscles. Use a full power 308, preferably...

as above, a 300black out is not a bigger / more powerful cartridge than a 308. The bang comes from the escaping gases and a 308 subsonic will have way more gas and a larger hole than a 22...

100% agree with Barry , .22wmr is a waste of time. It’s easy to get the first one with a well placed head shot but hopeless once they start running. I’ve culled plenty in both islands whilst farming...

as Timattalon says 7.62x39 is an option - but if ya really want a goat round then the .22x250 is it - devastating- we tried to get ammo for it issued but no luck - rather hard on ears though -when I...

Agree 100%. 223. Much better range, flatter trajectory, much less wind affected, much more stopping power, and alot more humane for the animal. Can't think of any reason to go 22 WMR - and semi...
