I don't shoot much at rifle ranges so can't say I have measured the difference. I also don't have a great amount of nickel plated brass either, but what I have noticed is that both nickel and non-nickel do produce the same amount of dead in game.....yet to notice one more dead than the other :)

I would presume so for the most part. I would also presume that manufacturers have some form of commercial agreement to help each other out in times of need. Happens in a lot of industries eg vehicles manufacture, banking, technology etc. They will also source parts from each other to fill...

I use Reloading Studio (https://reloadingstudio.com/) but I use an old version before the guy moved to a SaaS model. I haven't tried the SaaS solution but I suspect it has at least the same features as the old one that you install manually. One thing I like is that it will give you an...

Fairly certain that 4350 is made in Australia under the label AR2209 from ADI Powders. Taking into consideration the exchange rate, your $78 USD would get you 2.2lbs here of the same powder (we no longer sell anything smaller here). I'm still sitting on a bit over 18lbs of that particular...

wow those prices are more than what I think we pay here

I think this is similar to USA World Series baseball too.

I have never noticed the listing of brass. I just checked the ADI website and they make no mention of it. I would expect they would start with new brass, mostly for convenience. I wouldn’t expect them to reload many as again my assumption is that they would have pre-loaded a bunch of...

What are you trying to achieve? is it to put holes in paper to food on the plate? If the former, then keep toiling away, if the latter then you are done now get out and get some game, I say!

I was at a gunshop out at Oakey a couple of weekends ago on my way to a property to address some issues with roo's, fox's, pigs and other problems. I was really surprised how much 25-06 brass they had on hand as well as 25 cal projectiles. I still think the 25-06 is sadly on its way out but...

I think the replaceable battery thing is a non-issue. There are a bunch of devices out there with non-replicable batteries in them that work flawlessly in that regard (including Garmin). I have multiple that are still serving me well after more years than I care to remember. If it ever became...

Are you sure you live there? Sounds more like you like in Australia to me if that's what you are paying :ROFLMAO:

The bloke at one of the gunshop's I was in on Saturday told me that Lab Radar was bringing out a competitor to the Garmin we were looking at. The Garmin here is $1000 or a few bob short of that. I too would be keen to see a side by side comparison between the two units. I have no such...

Australia is giving away a lot of powder to Ukraine which is why you guys are seeing increased prices on some of Hodgson's favourite brands (eg Target, H4350, 4895). Heck I heard our market is drying up on these too. Projectiles here continue to be in relatively good supply but expensive. I...

Mate thanks for the story and lesson on history. No doubt we have it better, I appreciate the perspective.

Investments into things like brass is purely based on a P&L evaluation on a product line. Lack of brass for instance (and in this case 25-06) is simply a commercial decision. I can't recall when I last saw a new rifle come to market with 25-06 as an offered chambering, and I'm not talking...
