Different make of cases with same load & bullet what effect ?

I know what I'm capable of, but the silverware in a box in the garage at my mums house says it all. I don't need awards or trophies on show to prove anything and the only head I have ever put on a plaque was the first roe I shot from the woodland I bought up in Sutherland. Maybe it isn't easy to understand but target shooting and the hunting of quarry can't be compared in the terms you are trying to cross over. Why push? there's nothing to better?

A gun is not just a gun. It is a very specialised machine that is carefully tweaked to an end. I can't get you to understand what you are not able to accept because it's more philosophy than a set of commands. A bullet will not make a poor shot good and like I've tried to explain, the environmental variables that effect everything from the firers position, to the variations in cross winds across extended glades as well as the fitness, emotional anxiety and heart rate prior to a shot leaving the rifle absolutely destroy the potential of a bullet to correct the imperfections of a well intended shot.

I can't disagree that the finest ammo that could be made is better than ammo that is just 'ok' but then at what point of accuracy and stalking craft does a bullet's fine end potential to group on paper make a deer any less or more dead. Unless perhaps at excessive range? There's nothing to prove either way in this. I made my point without any doubt and perhaps if I used your reloading strategy I could do better.... but only on paper. That's not what those rifles are for, and certainly not my time spent with them.

hope you get your rangemaster and enjoy it as much as I enjoy owning and shooting my own rifles which allow me to take shots from 20 yards to well I wont go there as that's another story and frownd upon on this site.which model are you hoping to get ??

Apart from range work and comps, baboons in SA is on my to do list. It's inexpensive but challenging especially with the weight aspect and portability of the system. I have the 375 h&h open for all but it's not bmg... especially with A-MAX!

Still a fair bit of saving to do arhh

I do that on all loads be it a factory rifle or my custom rifles,when one has actually seen the advantages it soon changes ones mind,consistancy is key to accurate home loads,Iam frightend to tell you about the bullets I use,you would blow a gasket :scared:

You mis-understand me I think. I'm saying that if you use mixed lot brass and then insist on weighing charges I'm going to call you on it. ~Muir

wow that's going to be an expensive toy to feed,why would you need it for baboons ?? have you ever been hunting in Africa
 
don't 'need' it as such for baboons and the .375 would be fine but then I don't 'need' to go to SA. Not been there before but it's on my to do list and people I know that go are always on about getting out there next time, I'm more into pigs and moosey for the moment. BMG is not too bad to feed 'cheap' and I can get fmj's at about 70p each for loading but they are only plinking quality. A-max and turns are a lot more pricey! Getting one at the right price is not easy and it's goint to cost more than everything combined in my cabinet at their new price (ouch). I was nearly there til I broke my puggy 306 in the permenant sense, then wrote the newer puggy 406 off after a month and had to buy a third puggy, my 307 that is even a repectable looking car now but a big setback in any case..

I'd only do SA to nail baboons, not bothered about the plains game or big five, I fancy some pretty full on pest control. Sounds nuts but hey, the video would be mega cool.
