    You don't need the receipt for Leupy or Burris, but the retailers aren't happy if you didn't buy it off them. The H&F manager was unhappy with Baretta for sending me his way, but hey, it's a lifetime...

    I didn't have any luck with the Greek projectiles. My Martini Enfield threw them all over the place and sideways too.

    I chucked the values in GRT. With a conservative pressure value (theoretical), you could get 2450fps with the eldx. That has enough speed and energy up to 500m.

    This all depends on how you...

    Yeah I did. ID of the neck is, on average, .300".

    AFAIK, there's nothing I can do about that.

    I didn't mind Lee dies, but in this case it was the die.

    I have Lee dies for 3 different rifles, but the 300 BLK doesn't seat projectiles straight. It's so bad, the neck...

    Something like that. The app to control the drone runs on your phone. That app has all the geofenced maps on it. It also uses the gps on the drone to figure out where on the map your drone is.

    It's a regulatory thing. If a company wants to sell drones legitimately in NZ, they have to be able to put limits like that.

    I've walked with a rifle strapped to my backpack, in full view of the public, along doc tracks. Most people are friendly and ask about hunting. Others just give a sideways glance and move on.
