HH,
Na, nothing special with the gain twist. They sure tear up conventional jacketed bullets though! We fired a 350gn SMK down it and it took half a day to get the copper out of it afterwards! It...

There’s been a lot of theorising recently about the 375’s and just where they’re going to sit ballistically especially compared with the likes of the big 338’s. Well, we’ve finished our preliminary...

Sorry, been away for a bit. Yep, we do Barnards, $150 plus gst.
Thanks,
Greg

Rob,
Yea, there can be a bit of a notchie feeling as the bolt turns on the case shoulders with straight flutes unless you run two of them interrupted. Leave an unfluted section on the two flutes...

I'm away for the next 10 days. Will look forward to seeing where you've all got to when I get back...20 pages?

KG,
Please do tell us how you are getting this new velocity safely? That is the point, if what you are doing stacks up, then it will get the approval of the knowledgeable reloaders and will help...

My my Spanners, how low we stoop. Yes, you're quite correct my first given name is Francis, which is a family name handed down through the generations. You have a lot of growing up to do, and so does...

Man, some of you guys like getting fired up! Keep it calm or people will lose the point you’re trying to make. If Andrew is loading 2217 to 2950fps out of a 30” barrelled Edge, then that is too hot....

Yes KG, you can get close with 869 but this is not a recommended powder for the 338 Edge as its too slow. It gives too large ES's as Shawn says. With the best powders recommended for the 338 Edge...

Come on Andrew, 2950fps with a 300gn out of a 30" barreled Edge is over the top. Keep it sensible for the benefit of those who don't know better and may get themselves into trouble trying to achieve...

The Tahr Show in Christchurch this week is holding the NZ open duck and goose calling champs. Prizes are Avery Layout blinds for first place, and your choice of Tim Grounds acrylic calls for 2nd...

Guys, the competition and prize info is up on the Tahr Show website now. Follow this link: Game & Forest

Man, away from the computer for a few days hunting and you guys have got carried away!
Anyway, just to try and answer a few things that have been said. Cyclist, I never pushed one extractor...

Sorry, been away hunting for a few days.
Well, we've used the Oehler ballistic laboratory extensively for a number of years now, across a wide range of calibres, both factory and wildcat. We are...

You guys really do crack me up. The Oehler Ballistics laboratory is used by a lot of the bullet manufacturers ballistics labs to develop their loading manuals. I spent quite some time with the guys...

Interesting, I'd love to hook our pressure gear up and have good look at those two barrels. There has to be some major differences in chamber or bore. Have you slugged the barrel? That will often...

It’s a general guideline. The basic premise is that load data pressure barrels have minimum spec’d chambers and bores. And all factory barrels are at the looser end of the specs, some looser than...

Hell no, you load to the same velocity, then you'll be getting the same pressure as the loading manual load. I wrote an extensive reloading series on this back a few issues. You may take more or less...

You got it Abe!;) And it captivates the extractor in the battery position as well. Even more important with the M16.


Tussock, what about on Tikkas? They have a Sako extractor?

This thread is following on from the thread started by Kiwi Greg in buy, sell, swap that then got shifted to his commercial section. In it he claimed that M16 extractor conversions on Remington 700’s...

Yea, any modification of any sort null and voids the factory warranty, whether it be barrel threading for a muzzle brake/suppressor, or bedding the stock, etc, etc. So if someone is concerned about...

Norway, I'm not sure on the theory, but I have tested all sorts of scopes for parallax at a variety of ranges. Just walked out side now and tested a 3.5-10x40 Leupy and a 3.5-10 Swaro Z3. They both...

Oops, hadn't seen these queries - sorry! We've done Sako's before, and a Howa would be fine. A Kimber with the non rotating Mauser style extractor would be a pain, as you'd have to stop the flutes...

I've had a couple of emails about this, and I'm afraid I have to disagree strongly with Andrew. There is noticeable parallax beyond 200 yards if your scope is parallax set for about 100 to 150 yards...

Wildman,
There are no safety issues with the 1/2" UNF thread at all. If that is your only worry, go for it. There can be some accuracy issues on rifle barrels with residual stress left over from the...
