    GPM here's a small chainsaw story. When I lived in Oz I had no saws with me. A big pine got blown over near us and the farmer said I could have it for firewood. I bought a tiny Stihl 010 and set to...

    Used to do this years ago. Ended up a mess but my fault for not being methodical. Gets a bit messy if you have a cartridge that can survive eg 10 loadings or more. Nowadays for my sets of F Class...

    Sorry to be the party pooper guys but I believe they are Speer 100 gr Plinkers. The Hornady appear to be more pointy. I bought a box many many years ago (£ s d) to try in my 308. Accuracy was...

    In my opinion he should never have published that vid without some serious investigations and conclusions. What message is he currently conveying - Serbu rifles are dangerous? We don't know that at...

    He called it a freak accident but I think he was playing Russian Roulette with his supply of dodgy ammo. Also the manufacturer's claim that the piece was good for 85,000 psi seemed a bit light but...

    Yeah, and then he puts up another video around that time saying how he adjusted the seating depth of his rounds during the evening ready for the next day of the Texas Nats. He loaded long, as they...

    As a teenager I had a go at shooting them on the water. Made the classic mistake of aiming at the mob rather than an individual duck. Outcome was the whole lot of them took off unscathed.

    Thanks for that posting. Hunted the Ahu Ahu Valley from 1967 onward for a few years until it got too well known. If it is the old house I remember it was on a reasonably large flat still clear of...
