nice clean rifle. I love my 243 though mine is an ugly Parker-Hale Midland but it shoots. I gotta say though, if I were starting out again with rifles and planning all the calibres I would buy to fill a safe, sadly the 243win just wouldn't be make the cut for my top 10 list. But I do have one...

@mjcmichigan why not just shoot more TAC or Big Game? for me if I get to an inch or better quickly then I stop messing about with loads as I can never produce off hand in the bush what I can off a bench. I have a few rifles that are shooting half inch but that was just arse. I just managed to...

I actually think that Australia is the only country in the world where it is legal to shoot what's on you coat of arms.......I can't think of another country. I'm guessing you yanks aren't allowed to shoot a bald eagle, right?

never shot that light. My preferred powders are Benchmark 2 and 2206H. The table below is the comparison between those two powders and others. The '06H I use with 160gn FTX projectiles (what a lot of mucking around that was) and I use the BM2 with Hornady 150gn RN's. More specifically I use...

a bit gamey but they taste alright. We used to feed a lot of roo meat to our dogs. Definitely edible unlike the Emu. Interestingly I heard once that Kangaroo's have the highest protein for any grass eating animal

No idea if that's a whitetail doe or not, just a funny meme from down here.

by reading the replies I'm struggling with my interpretation of your question. Are you saying that by changing only powder, could there be a variation in cartridge over all length? If so I would say No. That's the way the post reads. But are you asking if by changing powder, do you need to...

I'm not expecting any significant downward movement in component prices anytime soon, if ever to be honest. There have been times when some countries have seen large'ish swings up and down, but things are different today across the board with significant increased in demand coupled with high...

didn't know Sig did brass so no idea if they produce it or someone else does for them. As for the longevity of that brass, I'm guessing you are going to be the one advising us I suspect. I don't target shoot so for me brass is brass and the cheaper the better as I rarely come home from a hunt...

I typically load at the top of the weight spectrum for all my rifles and the 270win is no exception. I use 150gn soft points (Sierra GameKing's) over 52.5gns of AR2209. I think Hodgson rename that powder to H4350...why they need to rename it and other ADI powders I have no idea. The same...

I've been using the 150 SST's in my 270win for a few years and they are my go to in that rifle

I've never had much problem with Win brass. I find the necks thin out a little sooner but that could be distorted as I shoot more of it. I'm not reloading for on paper accuracy and most of mine gets used in the bush and because I rarely return from a hunt with all my brass, I sure as heck...

No HAZMAT costs here my friend....no idea what that is but I could guess it's additional shipping costs for powder but not an issue here thought some couriers refuse to carry powder anymore

same here, though I'm pretty good for rifle primers. My challenge is pistol powder as it seems to have vanished completely

Can't say I ever considered BC when buying projectiles in over 30 years. Then again I don't remember the last time I shot anything beyond 200m either apart from the range where I might practice field shooting out to 400m. I'm always more interested in how the projectile opens up, weight...

Given Australian Defence Industries produces a number of the Hodgson powders, for those using those powders particular, then this is a good source. If you're not familiar with the OEM names for powders, there is an equivalent chart under Powders => Powered Equivalents...

???? I was in support of your position about easing up on retailers and your point about supply......wake up on the wrong side of the bed did we???? Not sure the point of your message otherwise.

Despite my tongue in cheek comment about AUD opposed to USD pricing this is true. businesses have base costs that are also impacted by inflation, including paying employees and feeding families. Add to that you tax system that makes little to no sense with all you different and irregular sales...

Sounds like they have their price gun set on Australian Dollars opposed to USD
