    Lever Action Rifles

    Take downs are good fun my friend and with a scout scope or red dot, they are remarkably quick and handy. I'm currently on a bit of a journey with reloading straight wall cartridges. I believe I am discovering how important a consistent crimp is. Still, all part of the learning experience and...

    257 Roberts cases

    For good loads in the 257 Roberts, I really like the 120gr Speer SPBT. Just flat out shoots and great terminal performance. Scrummy

    Who here has competed with firearms?

    I shoot in club matches a bit and I even used Nosler's RDF bullet to win the Any Rifle Albert competition at last year's Imperial at Bisley. One of my favourite competitions is called "The Ashes" which the BSRC shoot against one of the Australian clubs postally. It's shot with big bore rifles...

    Quick Load Request - 257 Roberts 100gr E-Tip

    Hi folks, Well, tried 42.5gr of Reload Swiss RS 60 (~92% case fill with by cases) and got rather dirty cases. Group wasn't bad though. I tried the next GRT predicted load (44.0gr) and not a good group but cleaner cases. So, what do we think: Same powder, change charge? Try a slightly...

    Lever Action Bullets

    Dear Nosler, Will you make a nice round nosed E-tip bullets for 44 and the 45 cals? Non-lead is becoming more of a thing and straight wall cartridges seem to be hear to stay .44 Cal - .44 Rem Mag and .444 Marlin (Roughly 180 or 200gr so works with the .44 RMs relatively small powder capacity)...

    70gr Nosler Accubond in a 5.56

    Good morning folks, I hope everyone is having a good Holiday Season. Has anyone tried the 70gr Accubond in 5.56? What's it's on game performance like? Will it stabilise in a 1:9 twist barrel? Could I request some QL Data with Ramshot X-terminator? (Though I suspect as a powder it is a little...

    7mm Accubonds

    I would agree, 150 - 160 is pretty optimal in 280 Rem / 7x64 in my view

    Shotgun Advantages

    The first and foremost is gun fit - When you shoulder the gun, you should be looking down the rib naturally. Most important thing In terms of gun, I'd recommend a Browning or Beretta 12g sporter with 3" chambers (whichever fits). It will do an awful lot of what one might expect a hunting...
