Re: Reloading supplies

I picked up some gear in Geelong around the middle of last year. Waited about a month for powder. Haven't been anywhere to ask since but a mate was telling me the other day that his dad went to buy some 223 ammo and the gun shop would only sell him 1 box 20rnds as they were struggling with supply. B...

Re: My turn for a bargain...

I've only ever used ADI powders so I'll have to look into the 2 others mentioned. Picked up some Nosler 55gr BTs' so they will get the first run when I get reloading on the go. (2 kids born and a new house that needs Reno's means im not even sure if my press moves these days). Sent from my SM-G973F ...

Re: My turn for a bargain...

Definitely not the cleanest rifle I've seen..few marks on the stock and some small spots of rust on the barrel...but she's a shooter...

Re: Spot lights

Probably the weight and the price. A LF 240 is about the half the price of a powabeam. Only paid 120 for mine off used guns. Powabeam is superior light, a mate has a 245 powabeam and its a whiter more penetrating light even though there both halogens.
Just how my eyes see it though.

Re: Lightweight hunting binoculars

Ive got Bushnell legend xlt 10x32 compacts and they are quite bright with good clarity.A lot cheaper than zeiss, leica etc. But you definitely get what you pay for with optics.

Re: new Zombie max bullets

New anything is gutsy. Bright yellow tip is different. Do they differ at all in specs from the vmax? Is the 32 a boat tail or flat base like the 32 vmax? Havent loaded any 32gr projectiles for my 204, had 40gr nosler bt now got some 39gr bk's to try like everyone else.
