Hi Chuck, we don’t get Bison here in Australia, was wondering what it tastes like. Also what did you shoot that beauty with. They look like they have some size. Beautiful condition too.

We have been more than satisfied with Benchmade knives. They have held their edge better than any other knives we have used in the past. I will however say because of that, they do take a bit longer to sharpen. Don’t think I will need to buy another knife, completely satisfied.

Prayers to you and your family. #fuckcancer

I’ll take quail as an entree and fallow as my main. Spuds cooked in duck fat with a side of broccolini and a good red wine. Be purring like a kitten after that.

Do you have to let nasa know before you’re about to start a range session 😉

Well Cole you were absolutely bang on. A 25 RPM just dropped. Looking through Weatherby’s site it seems a modern day 257 Weatherby magnum in performance but with a rifle that will hold 5 rounds. I am sure the internet will be a buzz about not needing a new cartridge. 😉

If I couldn’t get my 30-06 to shoot, the 6.5 RPM was going to be its replacement barrel. I think it is one of the best cartridges introduced in recent times, I just wished brass wasn’t so expensive. You certainly have that rifle dialled and glad to hear the gen 2 Leupold is a good thing.

I think when I wear the barrel out on this one, the 338RUM may well be its replacement.

Sure was. It is such an accurate bullet in that cartridge for me. I am really starting to enjoy the 300RUM, it is quite a tack driver.

Happy new year to you all. I decided to do a quick end of year hunt on a property that held fallow and sambar deer. We didn’t see any sambar but there were a few fallow getting around. I shot one facing me with the RUM. The bullet entered the chest and was found on the inside of the rear ham...

Great shooting, very nice bucks. One and done.

Also meant to say thank you too Dr Mike, much appreciated with your help in this matter.

So then I experimented with the same powder charges of Varget but swapped to the 165SST which I bought as a "what the hell have I got to lose" in trying to get this rifle to shoot. Well the rifle showed me what it was capable of and left me feeling like I was definitely on the right path with...

So here's the update. Shooting in a left to right wind of 10-15 knots with gusts, not great for groups but not bad enough to realise if things are heading in the right direction. From left to right is the 165NBT in front of Varget starting at 51.5 and ending at 53.5 increasing in 0.5grain...

I am using cci primers, didn’t think to use a magnum primer to see if that makes a difference. Great suggestion thank you.

That is great shooting and nice velocity from a short barrel too, (well short for me anyway). Unfortunately I don't have access to Big Game. We realistically only have access to ADI powders which do translate to some of yours such as AR2209=H4350 etc. Post pandemic and wars raging really have...

Thank you sir, much appreciated. I really want this rifle to shoot. You can see it is trying to make little groups, but something is just not quite there. I'll report back when I have had some range time and see if that change makes any difference.

Sorry Mike, absolutely right. Happy for you to use the 165 ballistic tip. That is the bullet I want to work so I can swap out to an accubond when or if the need arises.

Hi guys, I am suffering through trying to get good reloads with my 30-06 using 165 class bullets. The barrel is 26 inches long in a varmint contour. Brass is Norma. I have been trying with H4350 and the best I can get is 5 shots around an inch in size. Remington barrel and action is bedded into...

I’m at 92.5 of retumbo in Norma brass with the. 200 accubond. That is getting along at 3,080fps and is very accurate. That is one grain over max in the Nosler reloading book.
