She started doing that yesterday too funnily enough. Or gets bored and pushes her head under the binos. They must be related :)

Out for a deer yesterday and run into four Cham. Another first for the pup. Quiet day sleeping for her today. Just scrapes in at 9”.

Very cool. Have you done any write ups here in the past about any overseas hunts?

Yeh that’s what I’m hoping. Don’t mind if there’s a little bit of overhang. More likely to find a 2nd hand trailer that way I’m thinking than going 10x6. Apparently the earlier 850s are narrower than...

Thanks fellas. Pricing up a trailer at the moment is pouring a bit of cold water on this SxS idea.

Anyone running one of these? Looking at them as a potential upgrade from the 4 wheeler later in the year for hunting. Was either that or the Pioneer 1000 but I like the features on the 850. The other...

Cheap runner compared to mine. Usually around 17/100. Gets over 20 towing the quad. 325k and second owner since new and still stock. Will run it up to KRAE next year some time for a few upgrades...

You’d think, being a completely digital system now, that photos with whatever identifying marks/foreign lettering and numbering would suffice if that photo is always latched to that firearm. For the...

Must’ve been a long day. First one on the deck for her a couple weeks earlier. Certainly scents them now, just up to me to follow through.

Hi all. LE Wilson doesn’t seem to sell any of the micrometer seating dies for 7-08 so I’m wondering if getting a .308 one will still work ok? I guess the neck won’t be supported which might cause...

I’ll change the tack of the thread and say success!!
Got West Wanaka so should be ok for a look. Then Donald River in Haast the following week.

Biggest improvement for fitness I’ve had is a diet change this year for auto-immune health reasons. Pretty much the Paleo diet with a few more restrictions so not much fun. Used to do 5-6km runs on...

I seriously looked at the 1GR 4 litre Toyotas but stuck with a diesel for towing and river crossings etc. Weekend vehicle so not too fussed on fuel costs. One issue I found (admittedly from reading...

Bit of an older thread, but going through this dilemma currently myself. Was looking at a Nikon DSLR and settled on the D810. Mainly for landscape shots and if close enough for any animals, as well...

Looking forward to better weather to get out on it again.

New pup Ida last week. Hopefully will be after the deer in time to come. GWP/lab/collie. Good fun so far and a quick learner.

Good observations, I hadn’t looked at the pan mounting. If I got really enthusiastic I could screw the brass screw the weight is on out a fraction but I’m sure it’s got locktight from a quick test so...

“ I believe that is your 10ths of a grain..and its reading correctly?????”

Correct, just offset slightly. Doesn’t affect anything just slightly annoying with the OCD. Would need 10.0 grains to re...

It’s not too bad but noticeable the further along the screw it goes. Have the scales mounted up at eye level too so no parallax.

Thanks longshot, that’s probably my first move (and cheapest). I’ll pull a few of the rounds I loaded the other day and verify against the check weights as well to see if they match up.

Yep that was why I had two lots of 5 seated at same depth. One to check group size and velocity and the other with magnetospeed off and to check group size again to see what impact it had. Having it...

Brilliant, thanks for that explanation. What are the common issues with the Labrador?

Thanks for that gqhoon. I can’t remember where I got the powder charge run through method, but was mainly looking at tuning via seating depth the way EC was explaining it. That graph is a great way...

Thanks MD, yeh I think my OCD will get the better of me eventually even though I’ll probably spend more time at the range trying to find a load rather than just using the rifle. Using 55gr...
