If you are going to continue to use 777 in your cap lock the best thing to use is a 209 shotgun primer. Neil Hayes has the special nipple the holds them. They have a threaded cap that holds them in...

I do the 270 to 280 conversion all the time with Fedral cases. You have to anneal the 270 case, run it through 30-06 dies, anneal again, and then run it through the 280 dies. Weird looking case until...
The Pietta PPS is pretty good quality wise, not like the bloody awful Chiappa M1-22 that I've got. They have been around for about twenty years. They used to come with a fifty round drum mag back in...
You are welcome. Have fun with it.
There was a Pietta PPS 50 in "Magnum Sports" in Stratford. It's been there for quite a while. Was still there a couple of weeks back. The phone number is (06) 7657248, and the owner is Dave. Don't...
You could try 2217. I use it in a 270Win pushing 150LRAB's or 140VLD's. 2217 is a little faster than 2225.
2209 is pretty fast in a 270WSM with a 150 grain "anything" in front of it. I would expect...
I posted a warning about Win LR primers way back (not this forum). All I got was a lot of dribble about hot loads from know-alls. Changed to Fedral 210's and never looked back. Did nasty things to a...
I have had similar velocity spikes when seating projectiles to touch. I have since found that it is better to either jam them by 0.010" or jump them by at least 0.015". I suspect that a combination...
Been using one like that for quite a while. Got mine at Jcar for about $30. Lots of smaller ones (6mm) on ebay. Looking into one of those.
Qite interseting findings when poking one around the...
Mine arrived a week ago but I only got back home on Wednesday. Pretty good viewing. Reasonably proffessional presentation. Good quality information and filming. I ordered it a while ago after...
Thanks for the replies guys. I will keep searching for now.
Anyone had any luck getting one of the MMS capable game cameras to work on the telecom cell network? I have seen some advertised in NZ but both say they only work with Vodafone. Unfortunately both...
"Medium Range Walking Steel Shoot" or the "Hunting Rifle Target Shooting" for me. Not interested in the running around or navigation test shoots.
I have one of the new ones. The only part that didn't break was the handle. If it fits the old model you are welcome to it. PM me your details.
A good point raised there. I had noticed the same thing before I got mine, but it didn't stop me buying one. I haven't really found it to be a problem as I use it at my own range, so it's not like I...
Just trying to get my head round this. You are using these projectiles for the first time in either brand of case? You have not used the Nozzler caes before?
I am lead to believe that Norma make the...
Just tested mine today for the first time. Shot over it with a 270Win pushing 140 VLD's, and a 7mmRM pushing 180 VLD's. Both loads I have used for a long time. The upshot is this thing is quite good....
Yep. Been there done that with my first chronograph many years ago. One of those F1 red metal ones with the cardboard sun shades. Found how quickly those little plastic .30 cal sabots deviate from...
Just put it up there because it has Bryan Litz's Measured BC's listed. Bergers are absent but at least they put the G7 on the box label. Not sure the authors conversion to G1 using form factors is...
Found this report the other day by accident. It might be of use to some of the Long Range shooters. Measured G7 BC's for Hornady, Sierra, Nosler, & Barnes projectiles.
Thanks for the update. Should be a good trip I hope. Haven't been down for about ten years.
Just after any info on this block and facilities in the hut. ie. Matresses? Water supply? Axe? Pot belly stove? And of course animal numbers and condition (where the ten pointer hangs out)? Heading...
I had one of the first Chesapeake's bred in NZ. Great dogs for waterfowl. Tough as nails. Mine once picked up 15 ducks shot by a mate without a dog three hours after the last one was shot. Found a...
Just PM'ed you. G7 BC 123 Amax = 0.217 according to Thomas aka "Norway. Long range blog 31 about 4:20 minutes into the youtube video.
Just got one for my T3 7mmRM. Dropped straight in. Not a lot of clearence around the barrel but still floating. Groups the same as before, but now holds the same impact point off the bipod, bags, and...
