    Several years back I purchased an 8mm for a mate to replace his beloved SMLE – claiming the performance by design would be a vast improvement. It was a sporterised Czech military small-ring mauser...

    Satisfying your best expectations I imagine....that is really really good... and with your bullet of choice too. I know little about the Creedmoor other than that 41.5gr of 2209/4350 is reported as...

    matto1234 liked post by Puffin On thread : Muzzle brakes, Suppressors, and Accuracy
    I’d like to hear views on how these devices affect our ability to shoot more accurately. Muzzle brakes and suppressors only impact recoil once the bullet has already left the barrel. Setting...

    Beaker liked post by Puffin On thread : 338 Lapua
    With respect Jim, and should Brad come down this way, our range standing orders do allow for up to and including .45 for rifles. .338 Lapua & Edge, and .45-70 regularly turn up on the benches.

    Nice choices. I'll also go for a Barnard, Left handed, S or P, with the Jewell, sitting in a McM edge A5 or similar, and chambered in something interesting that can be made from Lapua brass....and...

    +1 for enzymic action, 2-4 degrees C, typical fridge temperature. 5 degrees is where the problems begin. Usually sits as muscle groups on racks down the bottom of the fridge here, for 2 weeks before...

    Danny liked post by Puffin On thread : Leupold VX3
    Great reply, and +1 for the VX3 1.5-5x for a bush rifle, also a favourite here. Limits me to 300m on 5x, and with no turrets on mine a bit of hold-over required at that distance. If you think 300m...

    A happy coincidence I believe. With respect disagree. Tolerant to changes in charge. It's optimum charge weight for a reason, not OBL. Maybe the underlying theory would hold for a few...

    Except with a brake fitted, then advise going one forward and one back to jam it for acceleration in both directions. My scopes move nett rearward with the T2 fitted if not tight !
