    BR4s are not hard so much as they have a thicker cup than others. Back in the days of converting 308 range rifles (no change to firing pin hole in bolt) to 6MM BR for F Class it was quite common to...

    Goes back a long time. I attended 3 NZDA National shoots in the late 60's. Big events in their time. Don't know how long before that they were run. 1 at Whiteman's Valley, 2 at Ohariu Valley.

    Nah, instead they've got a wishy washy statement about locking ammo in the glovebox, if possible. What vehicles these days have locking gloveboxes and even back in the days when they did a...

    Moa Hunter liked post by zimmer On thread : why is .22LR ammo so expensive now?
    Big issue with the USA versus the old Geelong Winchester 22rf is not just cost and availabilty, but the quality of the USA product is not up to the Oz product.

    And then we had the guy at our rifle club using a fast twist and heavier projectiles - a few poofs and not reaching the target. Don't know what the projectiles were. Barrel was new too.
