Fantastic read. Really good work by Greg there!

One request if you see this Greg - if possible, can you include MV temperature sensitivity testing in your follow up work with RL26, 2217, 2225 and...

Thanks mate. Not to hijack the thread and turn it into a optics debate but I've been burnt too many times with lesser optics. Like a good friend of ours often states: "buy once, cry once". That...

I have had two 7mm PRC rifles built through Greg @ Terminator Brakes with 24" Bartlein barrels - one for me and one for a good friend. Both rifles consistently group <0.75 MOA (5 x rd groups) with...

Looks like a good size animal as well!

You're bang on MD. It definitely takes a fair bit of investment in training, equipment and humility to be truly confident in taking an animal out to 1000m in the Southern Alps. I've been fortunate...

Update to above - with a bit of help from Mark from MacKenzie Helicopters, we managed to recover my bull that spent a couple of cold nights in the snow. Bit of a old battle axe. 13.5" on one side...

Just Hornady factory loads at the moment. Not sure what powder I would use for reloads TBH.

I'll be really interested to hear/see what those 180 ELD-M's do on game. I suspect they could be good to go. It will be hard to move away from the 175gr ELD-X's after seeing what they do at 1000m.

A big thank you to Greg at Terminator Brakes, Ian Hughes at Hardy and Stu at Greystone Guns for helping put this tack driver together in a short space of time.

The slight difference you see here in predicted holds between uphill and downhill is primarily a result of the Kestrel AB engine taking into account the difference in air density across the predicted...

I suspect what I am after has already been mentioned but I can't seem to get the search function to work.

Who is currently building 7mm PRC's in NZ?

Who is currently importing 7mm PRC's into...

It could be a number of things. Apologies for the following repeats but I will just cover off the troubleshooting checklist I was taught:

1. Incorrect range (measured or inputed)...

Sounds like you are doing most things right and I agree that it is a large MV delta from a CAL MV exercise when one has used a CDM. There is the possibility that you are unlucky and have a barrel...

I am not sure if some of you are trolling here.........

Hi Guys/Gals,

I've created a new account to better reflect who I am. Long story short, my father-in-law is LBD on here and for tongue and cheek I created "DBL". For those who know me personally,...
