    GWH liked post by Puffin On thread : Target Camera Revisited
    It’s been a couple of years since 7mmSaum and NZFUBZ presented details of their Target Camera systems: https://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.nz/f31/target-cam-20703/...

    Danny liked post by Puffin On thread : Berger VLD Hunter and Hunter classic
    Either VLD Hunting (as opposed to VLD Target), Classic Hunter, or Elite Hunter. Those are the three designs sold by Berger for hunting, so presumably all with the thinner (original-thickness)...

    CooeeBay liked post by Puffin On thread : Hunter rescued by helicopter after accidentally stabbing himself
    As has been pointed out many times; some reasons for needing to use the PLB also have the potential to separate you from your day bag. Trousers with a zipped pocket are an alternative to consider...

    Double Shot liked post by Puffin On thread : 6.5x55 Load info
    Do tell? I had one in 6.5x55 that also held together well in trying circumstances.

    chainsaw liked post by Puffin On thread : 6.5x47 Lapua not chambering
    For the case head to have expanded to give a tight chamber fit I think the primer pocket would not be usable. Your load also seems right for around 60kPSI peak in a 25-26" barrel. A thick...

    Cordite liked post by Puffin On thread : Left Hand Shooters
    Interesting thread. Left-handed here too. I use VZ33 mauser actions on the hunting rifles (bolt right side) but the stocks are all set up for left-handed use. For me there are two issues with this...

    SlimySquirrel liked post by Puffin On thread : 6.5's
    Unfortunately no. Nothing to do with whether the brass feeds. Any bullet may be seated far enough down in the necks of .260 REM cases to allow the finished round to fit a std SA magazine length, but...

    llewelyn liked post by Puffin On thread : Which 6.5 ?
    shooternz is right in that the 2.835" magazine length of a Remington short action will be restrictive for a Creedmore. With the reamer cut for freebore to keep the boattail junction just inside the...

    Double Shot liked post by Puffin On thread : .22-243
    Locally down here Tararua Hunter is well known for having used a 22-243 for some years, and presumably would have some good advice for bullet choice on reds. Maybe track him down more easily on the...
