Cooking up some bergers for the 300WSM
190 vld in some new ADG brass sitting over a few different charges of 2209, should be going over 2800 according to berger data

Next door is some 178...

I'll be cutting mine down to 14 inch or so I think. Meant to be a short and handy gun, but found the handloads are going so well that I'm finding it hard to change a good thing. Shoots about an inch...

Had a surprise when these 2 popped out from under a tree when I was doing a goat bomb-up
130gr sierra gamechangers did some damage at 200m, both dropped on the spot

Loaded up some 130gr TGK for 6.5 grendel, 135gr sierra hollow points for 308 and 178 ELD-X for 300WSM

After bashing the shit out of the bottom of my hilux in some Canterbury river beds, I'm looking for a lift kit to get upgrade to from the factory set. Has a bullbar/winch on front and a low hard...

Some load data from the horse's mouth, so to speak

+1 for 300WSM, very managable recoil for mine with a maniatis suppressor/brake combo. The biggest downside is factory ammo availability, there was only 1 shop in the region that had any, which sold...

I only have one rifle in this caliber, and these were all fresh lapua brass, no resizing done prior to this firing. Theres a bit of dark crud around the necks, but not anymore than usual amounts I...

It has had several packets of factory ammo and nearing 100 handloads, I've kept all the brass and the only 2 unusual primers were the 1st and 3rd in the pic which are from the most recent batch, all...

Forster are making rings like this with notches for each thou. Little on the expensive side for 1 ring, but work well
...

This was all new lapua brass, so the only treatment it got was a mandrel to straigten any bends in the mouth from shipping damage, then a very quick deburr/chamfer. I would expect that I shouldn't...

Had a surprise when I looked at some brass from a recent shoot. These were all loaded in virgin lapua brass with 25.7gr of 8208 behind a 130gr sierra game changer in a howa mini grendel.
This was a...

New Tikka in 300WSM with a Maniatis can/brake and limbsaver to tame the recoil

Didn't last long!

I'm assuming it was a manufacturing defect like a dodgy seal, I'm not at all rough on my gear if I can help it. Didn't drop it, and it spent most of the time on it's only trip hidden away in a cactus...

I had a brand new vx6 leak after 1 trip last year, was told by the local chain store it would be a few months to get the replacement. Turns out they lost my phone number and didn't contact me, but...

I had a vx6 fail after 1 use, brought it online from GC who wanted me to send it back to them in Christchurch. Took it to the local H&F instead, was sent away and had a brand new replacement that was...

The mountain bipod (more expensive unit that is in stock at the moment) will give you a higher position than the backcountry model, as well as being able to get lower by doing the splits, makes it...

Have both the twin needle and ruffwear packs. Ruffwear seems to sit a bit better on my dogs and doesnt flop around so much, but the twin needle is handy being able to use different size puches...

Thanks for the input gents, sounds like the 2208 may not be ideal. Managed to find some 2219 at the local H&F which sounds like it might be a bit more suitable, and could maybe do some loads for the...

No shortage of tails in Taranaki :D added to the collection

Cleaned up a whole mob in one go.231187 They kept running in circles and couldnt figure where the shots came from

I've aquired a box of (old) hornady 100g SJ varmint bullets for the 308 for some longer range rabbit/hare/possum shooting. Can't seem to find any solid load data for this projectile, and it's not...

Vortex covers are useless, as soon as it gets cold they just slide off the scope. I got some tenebraex covers for a leica scope (had to ship from Canada but arrived within a week) which have great...

This thing is criminally light and well built, just need to drop the barreled action in and pick a grip.
Cheers robhughes-games for the great service
