Yep that's my go to combination for 7/08

I can't agree regarding the worst time in history to release a new rifle. There are probably other examples in history of what may have seemed bad timing still resulted in a cartridge for the ages. The one that immediately comes to mind for me is the 22 Hornet. A calibre released in the...

If I had the spare cash and a reason to buy one, I would. There's a lot to like a bout it. The reason I'd look at re-barrelling my existing 270win is because it is a BRNO with the set trigger and I live that old rifle. I would also only do it if my current barrel happened to be shot out...

I mentioned Woodleigh but someone else may have too. The factory is up and running again and they have started producing again. It will take a while for them to catch up with market demand and I don't know what priority or portion they allocated to overseas supply. While they are probably the...

It should be a great cartridge and I'm sure you will enjoy hunting with it. I like it on paper but couldn't justify buying one but for the shooting I do, it is an answer to a problem that I don't have. Who knows, what I do may change one day and this will hit the spot. Or I will put a new...

I voted other. For bonded bullets no one can beat Woodleigh. There are some good ones out there to be sure but they don't beat it. For monometal (all copper) then I've been converted to Atomic 29 (https://www.facebook.com/atomic29bullets they have a website coming). Cheaper and IMO better...

A box of AB's here will set you back over $100. How much more over will depend on your calibre. I bought a box of 140's for my 270win a year ago for about $90. If I can get them today they are another $25-$35. Just bought two packets of Starline Brass yesterday for $66 a packet. I since...

That's a good relationship you have with you LGS. I really can't see us here in Australia paying less than $150 in the future. Prices seem to float between $175 and 200 if you can get them at all at the moment. The last time I bought them for under $100 was when the components used for brass...

wow I can't believe how little you guys pay for this stuff over there.

Outstand buy. That's almost what they were ~3 years ago. As much as we hate the idea of today's prices the commodities to make brass (zine and copper) have double in that time and it is hard to think that they would return to those levels anytime soon. There will always be ups and downs in...

Well done, nice groups. I have a different view to others. I would stop load development there and go hunting as I don't think an extra .1" or so will make any difference to how dead those pigs/deer/whatever your game is. All you would be doing is using up more components for no additional...

Woodleigh use a process that they call Weldcore. it is a bonding process, how different it is to what some other manufactures Bonded bullets I don't know. What I do know is that the Protected Point bullets are awesome

Australia is no better. I started stocking up a couple of years a go, just a little bit here and a little bit there and so glad I did. For a number of calibres it is now cheaper to buy factory ammo than to load for it. We have a bunch of calibres you can't buy brass for and if you can get...

Definitely a good scope. I have had one on my 243 for many years. It even copped a ding when I dropped my rifle and no issues. Good clear glass that is better than some higher priced units. I wish I could buy them for that price down here (~$300 if memory serves) as I'd happily buy another.

Congrats. I don't have either press but would have chosen the FA over the Redding. Not that I'm anti-Redding as I have a couple of their items (though not press) and they will last me about a couple of hundred years of so. I just happen to prefer the FA as it would be my choice between the...

They are what we call wild horses. A lot of people here think "Man from Snowy River" (it's a movie go watch it) especially in the cities and have this idyllic romantic notion of these beautiful thoroughbred horses but it is far from the truth. Some can be broken in (my Dad did when I was a...

Why? Just personal preference, pice, ?

Some properties I go to have pigs regularly over the 100kg mark. The other game are Red Deer and the occasional brumby we find on the property. I've use Accubonds for Brumbies before but I felt they were marginal. I've used the TSX before but on smaller pigs only (ie60-80kg's). Looking at...

Yes I've used the TSX in my 7/08 in 140gn and they were fine and worked well....as did accubond and other more premium projectiles.

Australia....we pay so much for everything here
