Very cool!! Should still be very functional. What's happening in the barrel department?

Being able to lengthen the magazine 5mm makes a massive difference on the powder capacity. Thanks for that... I definately need to explore that further!

Thanks for that guys. Sounds like I need to investigate extending magazine length as I really need the powder capacity of the 223 case to motivate the heavies effectively.

I’m thinking a 1-7” twist would work.

Most 223 magazine lengths requires a projectile jammed way in deep which must compromise powder capacity somewhat. I'm really curious of what speeds are attainable in a 20" barrel with the trusty...

Any Lapua 300 AAC blackout brass coming?

Hi Team,
I’ve got a tight necked (.250”) 222 Remington that requires me to neckturn some brass before I can shoot this rifle. I’ve starting looking at tools for neckturning but not sure if I have...

If your talking long range - 208 ELDM's would be perfect! If you cant find an accurate load with those try the 195gr Sierra TMK's. Not as high BC but normally shoots great in any rifle.

I had some mixed lots of powder so mixed it really in a new, clean bucket then filled the containers back up. My theory then is I now have the same powder lot in each container & wont have to adjust...

Given up on finding some Lapua 222 brass anytime soon so did find some Sako that I’ve purchased. Anyone got some experience with Sako brass - good or bad?

Out of interest what it the over all length with your 151gr HP projectile loaded? Trying to figure out if I can crimp on the cannelure & still fit in my short magazine. Another random question do...

Every store I've asked about sending brass so far don't want to know! have sent a message to Gunforce awaiting reply to see if they have what I want & willing to send.

Contemplating building either a 222 or a 6 x 47 but want to use Lapua brass which seems to be out of stock everywhere here in NZ. Any tricks to ordering some brass from Australia if I can find some?

I have special order 15" Shilen select match stainless barrel in 44 with 1-16" twist that I ordered for a project gathering dust. Would need fitting & chambering but would be perfect for what your...

Mate went to load some N570 powder for some load development through his trusty Lee powder dispenser but it easily blocks with the coarse granules. Even hangs up in the powder funnel in the throat....

The dirty old 308 has made a huge resurgance during the Covid craziness. Lol never seen so many 6.5PRC's, or Creedmores for sale because components werent available. Good to know with the huge...

Guess both my hunting rifles are over scoped. My do it all 308 wears a 4-32x50 F1 Nightforce & so does my longer range 300 Norma Magnum. I like the familiarity having identical scopes / reticals for...

Peacock salami's.....interesting might have to try that one out! Peacocks are great for fly tying supplies.

I seem to have a habit of saving weight where sensibly possible on a rifle to allow me to sit something like a Nightforce on top & end up with a normal carry weight rifle with brilliant optics. Works...

13" Barrel?????? Wow not bad ballistics at all if the case!

The other thing to also remember is that the WSM gains extra barrel length over the Win mag simply because of its shorter cartridge length. 1/2" longer effective barrel length straight out of the box...

Thanks for all the information guys, really appreciated. Sounds like I need to go do some ground work & door knocking when I'm down next on our annual Wallaby shoot to Waimate. Think there are some...

Hi Team...... enticed by the tales of moving hills made of rabbits my mates & I are contemplating organising a South Island bunny hunt just for something different. I know of the annual Easter Bunny...

Looking at purchasing a few Swarovski Z3 3-9x36 scopes for some rifles, wheres the best place to head for a deal?

6BR, 6 Dasher, 6x47L, 6 Creedmoor!
