Thanks, advice taken.
Im thinking of with suppressor and a heavy scope.
Dont laugh but my 7mm08 kicked fairly hard till I put those on and now its barely noticeable. I think with a good stock,...

Sorry i forgot to mention the other major cause of death in the hills is rivers.
Judge Rivers carefully.

It’s decision making that gives you safety, not applying tech or SAR after youve stuffed...

Without having read all the no doubt wise replies above, I’ll stick my neck out …

Yes I hunt a lot alone due to mates often not being committed to really go in the hills on the day and often go at...

Thanks for alerting us to that tahr.
Greg Duley is good at a lot of things and writing about big 7mms is certainly one of them.
That article is a good run down on the similar cartridges and the...

It can be a long slow process if you chose 5 powder weights and fire 3 shots of each. At first, you're not really trying to assess the grouping of any one load so you're better to load up one of...

I just pulled out some numbers comparing a few of the big 7s.

248040

So we have:
7mm PRC has 50 thou longer COAL than 7mm Rem Mag - probably not a big deal. It's the same as the 28 Nosler...

Looking in the current Hornady Handbook, I see there are "30-06 Springfield" and "M1 Garand".
They have the same cartridge dimensions but the "30-06" has about 200 f/s higher velocity.
The "M1"...

You do know thats because there are no deer in the Kaimais ?

Ive got a VX3i with CDS and yes it does turn several clicks whenever I carry it out hunting. Must rub on my clothes or pack or something.

So the 7PRC SAAMI max COAL is 3.34” same as 300WM and 28 Nosler.
7mmRemMag is a smidgeon shorter.
300 PRC is 3.7”” same as 338LM meaning it needs a different action which will slow uptake.

Remember this is not real. I dont really hate Gimp. 🙂

So if you have a 9g bullet with mv about 2500 fps and a 4500g rifle that will Be recoiling backward at about 5 fps by the time the bullet passes the magnetospeed you would need to subtract 5 from the...

My reasoning is : they are fairly close to the edge of the gong. How many shots did you fire ? No one shoots real 4cm groups at 600m.

Should use at least a double sheet of newspaper and not...

My advice is the black stag will have to walk this time.

By all means put up a paper plate where he comes out and give it a go.

You can use the jbm web site for a very good calculator. Call me...

Hey mate - I guess you’re just trying to reach out to like minded battle rifle enthusiasts but you’re sounding like a bot. Rephrasing a question that has already been more or less answered… These...

Thanks GPM, no I didnt chrony it.
I’ll get baCk to you with an est tried mv based on the true drop from the 200m tall target.

Ive had this when i use the wrong units for a atmospheric pressure. App thinks youre shooting through mercury or water not air.

I was testing the trajectory of my 17HMR (17gr VMax).

I sighted it in for 50m then shot at 197m with no hold over.
This is the "tall target test".
It is true. It shows the actual trajectory in...

I see there is also a Hawke Chairgun App on the android play store. I have Hawke scopes for airgun and rimfire.
They have a UK head office and like msny optics, are manufactured in China.

Just wondering if anyone has tried this out ?
I’m looking for an App that will do airgun pellets too.

One reviewer says: “now that Strelok pro is no longer available in the US it is nice to have...

Do you mean the foresight is rotated anticlockwise from vert/ horizontal ?
Maybe the butt isn’t vertical.

Tahr has used them.

Thanks. ELD-M
Mark and Sam.

Good on you Goose.

Ive been thinking of going down this path too, with longer range target matches in mind but for me it should primarily be a SouthIsland hunting rifle.

The combination of...

I do exactly as Juicy and Six5Bleedmoor said.

Taking boned out meat from front legs, backsteaks and the whole hind legs reduces weight to 40% of s whole gutted carcass.
