You're totally correct - there were 8 episodes this season compared to 10 last year. They finished this season with the traditional duck shooting episode which included an extended cooking segment...

Further to this, all of the podcasts that are about external ballistics and drag are well worth a watch (or listen). Though I think that starting with 'Your groups are too small' parts 1 and 2 gives...

From a post on FB:

'that's it for this season on television unfortunately, we're diverting some time and energy into our digital offerings, and will be releasing all our old seasons and other new...

Beetroot - come down and give it a go if you're able. It's a really fun shoot and the rules that are there are really only to keep it close to how hunting situations might be on average. Well for...

My brain is turning to mush - it's a fallow doe! The muzzle velocity was 3160fps and the projectile is 6.5mm. Range was 140 metres so projectile was doing roughly 2825fps on impact. The shot was...

Did you get the classic shank punching right through and a cluster of petal holes around the exit craigc?

I shot a fallow hind last week with a 109 grain Absolute Hammer that had exactly that sort...

Longrun - if we asked nicely, would it be possible to have some more pictures of the M98 in 7*57 please? It looks like it might be a special one?

All of the evidence presented on this thread so far tends to suggest your dog is a real hardcase Ground Control?!?

That Winchester Expedition looks like a potent load! It's still going faster at 20" than the Precision Hunter did at 24".

Were those shot with a suppressor, brake or nothing attached?

Definitely don't want to derail this thread either, but it is useful to add that I've read a lot about this and there's some useful things to know about powder deflagration. First, all of the powder...

Definitely keen for another go around - hopefully with slightly less raging wind than last weekend!

Having shot steel targets at Sparrowhawk during the Open Range Days many times we were well aware of how the wind as going to be the biggest problem to deal with on the day.

There were other...

Good on you for posting your experiences. Nothing in hunting is ever certain and it doesn't always work out how you hope despite your best efforts to do so. I lost a tahr in tussock country a few...

And the award for Understatement Of The Day goes to gimp! Did those of you camping get a decent sleep or did the wind have another go and sending you into the next valley?!?

What leads you to believe Lapua don't manufacture their own brass? Do you have a reputable source of information about that?

What is the 'context' you seek ilikepie? Sanity check? Realistic velocity expectations? You don't mention if you are using a good chronograph to find out what speeds you are getting with your...

A friend got a borescope recently so we've had a good look at all the rifles we own. We inspected them thoroughly prior to doing any cleaning then kept rechecking to see what changed.

He used the...

So good to see you back out in the field again. It's easy to get bogged down by other life stuff, but making the effort is so rewarding. You've got a great resource there - the landowner will be...

Excellent writeup! You convey your ideas really well.

It's amazing observing a dog do something that's impossible to us. We once took a mate's dog out and whilst we knew exactly where we were, it...

Awww, can't like that news. So sorry to hear your mate has gone. Is that her in your avatar picture with the ear muffs on? Would be great to see the full size version. I've always had a chuckle at...

Fantastic work with the story and great pictures. Congratulations to the young fella - made my day reading this.

What twist rate is your barrel? Are you shooting a 6.5*55AI as per your signature?

If you were shooting only inside 300 yards any will work. The general advice of going lighter than 'standard' and...

That's great ammo if your rifle groups it well. I've shot it a bit and it works well on critters and never goes crack. I have had the same issue as you with CCI Subsonic - would often go crack.

I watched that on Sunday when it popped up on YouTube. You worked hard for that chamois for sure - well done! Some of that footage of the terrain made my stomach do flips... As a consequence I laugh...

Brilliant! Did you take some goat home to turn into dinner?
