Are the bulk buy deals still going? I sent an email to the address at the start of the thread, and have recieved no reply.

Because I'm not incredibly smart, I stubbornly decided to stick with 308 when I started looking at reloading/stretching the gun's legs.
After a heap of shooting to get over recoil, addition of an...

I went down the same path herbmiester, got my bike around 2 months ago. The 29ers do smooth out the ride very well, probably a good thing for someone who can't hold a good line down the tracks like...

The only projectiles that I had to play with seating depth to get to shoot were bergers. Can't remember exactly how far off the lands they were though. Something around 60 thou?

If I was to go back 2 years and buy my tikka again, I would've got a swede instead of .308. To get equivalent performance out of the .308, I've had to make it a long action, and seat 190 grainers...

It's a bugger that there was no kind of quantitative measuring device available for the tests, it would've almost been worth it given the amount of effort you've put into testing, improvement, and...

I've never managed to get reliable results when using shooter either. I've always assumed that some other factor must have been incorrect..

What methodology/equipment did you use to objectively test your muzzle brakes against the other brands tested?

I started my shooting career as a varmint hunter, progressed to meat hunting, then when I realised what a woeful shot I was, I got a decent rifle and started target shooting soley to improve my skill...

Waitaki engineering do a good rail too, got one for my tikka for $80 IIRC. Could be an option if we want to spread business around

Problem now solved!

Changed from 190 to 185 Berger VLD hunting's (0.3BC Drop)
Reduced load back to 44gr, and started working up in 0.3gr increments. 45 shot sweetly
Got a muzzle break from...

Shot a tahr at 330, and a deer at 280. Both shots were shoulder or crease. Didn't recover the tahr, but the deer both had 2in. + exit wounds and considerable internal damage. That was with 185VLD's...

Speer Bullets - Product Details :D

If you really want the most slippery 168 grainer, they'd probably be the berger VLD or amax. Nosler claims higher, but I've got a feeling it's overstated, rather...

I think most of the people reading this thread would come to the contrary conclusion :D

Cheers spanners, that fixed the problem. Easy when you know how eh?

Hi Spanners/whoever can help,

I changed to looking at the full site on my android phone a while ago because I couldn't find a few things on the mobile one, but now can't find a way to go back to...

Saw that the other day. I assume they are made by the same people, a lot less fuss and even cheper though!

I forgot to mention before - the paint has worn off mine a little bit in the moving...

The screws thru the bottom of the skids allows you to lean into the shot alot more too, giving what I think to be better recoil control and recovery for follow up shots

Since the review I have used this bipod on 3 or 4 hunting trips, and have taken a thar at 320m at a 40 deg uphill angle in difficult (read uncomfortable) terrain, and a red with a snap shot at 280m....

Not the most correct way of explaining it I'm sure, but just wondering what the best way to modify the bolt stop of a medium action length T3 is. Is it worth grinding the existing stop back until...

Cheers for the replies guys,
I arrived at 46.5 gr mostly due to velocity, as group size did not vary much at all on the basis of powder charges. I imagine this is purely because I haven't got the...

Shite, you're right Mike! I've always been sure that it was 1-12 - not sure where I pulled that number from.. I'll correct the original post.

Does 1 inch faster twist make much of a practical...

Malhunting - As in my first post:
"Sofar, I've only used it at the range twice, but have found it to be a great platform to shoot off from what I've experienced."

I've been happy with how it has...

This is the Spigot/spindle attatchment I assumed you guys must be using.

That makes me want a Blaser...
