    dannyb liked post by ZQLewis On thread : Suppressors - one size fits many? - is it 'safe'?
    I would not say anything grey about it. The hole size has to be spec'd for the largest Bore/Calibre projectile you will use and the silencer body has to be rated for the largest powder capacity...

    Yes if you have a 7mm RM you like then I can't see any point in the 308 or 30-06. 22rf, Shotgun make sense. A 223 is a good choice for a volume shooter, easy on the body, accurate and cheap. 7mm...

    H414 is the same as W760, spherical ball powders. If you check all the load data as well you will find it is identical. Nb if you go back a long way it may be different. Z

    I've done a few guided and unguided private land hunts. Being up northland way it's hard to get away and spend time in an area and learn what's going on. That make private land where you can hunt...

    If you want to get close to bolt action accuracy you need to move to a modern lever, Most of which are no longer available apart from the BLR. (Sav 99, Win 88, Sako Finnwolf) And then you can't get...

    Well I just keep the 1 zero, wither I'm in the bush or on a farm or tops. I would not change my zero based on the hunt. For me with 223, 243, 358 win they are all zeroed at 200 mtr. Z
