Loaded 25 rounds of .223. Hornady cases, fed 205 primers, 25gr of 2206H and the similarly magic 65gr serria gameking - a very accurate projectiles.
Had some issues with my lee hand primer...it's a...

Depends on what you want to spend. But a howa mini, cut the stock to suit, and heaps of cheap second hand stocks to bring it to size again later. Also use old jandels of various thicknesses for...

I just did so. Very interesting read.

I'd prefer powerpoint over 150 sst.

I used both, and a bunch of other bullets in .308. The 150gr sst is my least favorite. But that reflects my up-close-and-personal style of hunting where i want...

I've given up on braid for trout fishing.

Ha ha Micky Duck we have similar tastes!

I might take you up on that. The other one that looks interesting is the Winchester SXP. All a bit academic at the moment, have blown my spare cash on a...

My DPT bush is a very tight fit on my howa mini. Worth opening up? I see DPT themselves recommend 0.5mm gap all round.

$31.99 for 25 rounds.
Eley VIP 31gm loads were $30.99

Great comments on pump guns guys. Food for thought.

Popped into H&F Dunedin today. They have some falcon, not heaps. I got couple of packets of the 35gm 70mm to try. Look like that was all they had, in 4s and 3s. Lots of Eley and other brands. Kent...

Bloody hell, $1,500 at Delta Mikes. Another couple of hundred and your into very reasonable semis, like the mossberg 940 or the Franchi.

Well I started this tread....and I lm happy for it to go off topic!. My son is running an 870 this year, so will be interesting to see how it goes. Plus, I'm kinda keen to replace my old skb, and...

Before I started hand loading myself, a mate loaded up some military cases for my .308. Second shot I couldn't open bolt. Whacked it with a handy 4x2, case had split in half. Gunsmith had to take...

My issues were a flaw in both brass [U]and[U] the gun. It was so bad that I had to bail, and go into town to buy winchester about lunchtime on opening day. It was about 25 years ago.

I had issues with the brass on falcon in the late 1990s, I assume this has been solved.

Seemed to be a pile of it at H&F in Dunedin earlier this week.

I've only seen the odd Red Stag Hunters Club. There is some stuff on YouTube. Must be somewhere to stream old episodes?

Falcon ammo seems like a good deal. Any comments on performance? I'm restricted to 2 3/4" shells in my old skb semi. The 35gr loads ok in #3 or 4#? Any comments on the lighter loadings?

Oh bugger, just bought my license from H&F and got another crappy knife. GC just as close to walk to.

A great show. The last one was great, good duck hunting action and awesome extended cooking section with one of NZs top wild game chefs. Excellent stuff.

Yes

I listened to that. A discussion on short barrels and supressors like it was new...we've been doing it in NZ for 20 years!
Still they were correct in what they said and worth a listen.

18" with a supressor is a nice all-rounder length. My .308, is my main hunting rifle for everything and at 19" it's great, not really losing much at all in terms of velocity. In my view 308 over...

Yeah. Definitely a .22 to learn on and hunt some bunnies. You will need a centrefire later on for hunting larger beasts.
I wouldn't start an 11 year old on anything bigger than a .223. But .22 is...

I got advice from a Fish and Game officer, and he said surpressors are fine. The regulations are silent on the matter....see what I did there?
