Bit of an update. I have sold the XM38 but still have the XQ38 on the 6x45. Have recently purchased an Iray R50R for my 7/08. This changes the dynamic considerably as prior to this the objective was to get the flattest shooting cartridge to counter the difficulty of range estimation using thermal. L...

Hi Rod. MkVs use two threads, 1/2 ×28 on the sporter and 5/8 × 24 on the varmint. Earlier MkVs had no threads so a smith may have done yours in something more sensible on those light barrels like 14x1 or 9/16×24 where a generic 1/2 20 or 24 can be bored and tapped to fit. Then there is 13/16×24 or 1...

We can blame Covid for this Trev. That lot of Tenex was used by a very well known shooter at a match earlier this year where one in five didn't fire. Examination showed the primer mix was not around the whole rim. Another BR shooter in Brisvegas told me an inch at 50 was good with this stuff. Fortun...

Aguila SSS 60 grain was developed for the Poseidon rifles to dispatch watchdogs, so legend has it. Bolt action, integral suppressor using a 9 twist barrel. A lot of mystery about this particular rifle and its true purpose. The only current commercial rifle sold that is suited to this ammo is the VQ,...

Thought I'd keep this thread going. Good mate sent me this pic last night. He was watching the footy and heard the dogs barking so he walked out onto his veranda and spotted over 20 pigs rooting up the house paddock looking for nut grass. They had dozed the paddock earlier in the week. Anyway he got...

Can't elaborate any more on IBI 22lr barrels but can share on their centerfire barrels. I have set up a number recently from 6 Creedmoor, 7/08 and 284, and 308. All have been for target work from PRS to Fclass. All the feedback has been very positive and some of the results i have seen do rival barr...

An alternative to the AMP annealer. No gas, no mess and can go with you anywhere. Everything is available locally or through Amazon.

Straight from the horses mouth. Thanks Ken.

Anyone is capable raven, a chrono will tell you as will bolt lift and general pressure signs. I might add these irregularities started to appear at around the time production changed ownership. Not saying these are bad changes, there certainly can be beneficial aspects and accurate loads found. What...

In the last few weeks i have ginned around with the Defiance and 260 Rem barrel before it gets sidelined for the 6mm Creedmoor barrel. Some of you know i have many batches of ADI powders including 2209 dating back to the steel tin and paper label, to the latest plastic cannister stuff. A month ago i...

Glenn a while back a young bloke i met up with at the range was chasing 300 WM brass. I offered him weight sorted RWS brass at $2 each and what i had left of my brown box and long discontinued Lapua at $2.50 a case. He declined and some time later i saw that he had purchased Remington brass. Around ...

Looking to beg, borrow, steal, hire or buy a 6mm Creedmoor reamer with a no turn neck of 0.274", 0.275" or there abouts.
Cheers.

Sounds like a great venture seddo as i always felt the 25 cal was lost in space in recent years. As a caliber between the 6 and 6.5mm it was sort of forgotten. I shot a number of 25 cals over the years from 25 BR, 25x47 Lap AI, 25/284, 25/6.5x55, 25 Souper AI and a couple of 25/06s as a hunting roun...

Crackers that NUK can be a royal pain at times but i have left it on auto and watch the timer at bottom left run down. I found the worst case is when you fire the unit up it will NUK half a dozen times and then settle. I simply turn it on 20 minutes or so before i start the night, and off at the end...

I suspect different areas and climates utilise the different palettes available. Up here i pretty much stay on black hot. Used Sepia to good effect to zero at various times but for hunting pigs and deer, black hot just seems to find them quicker for me.
