Well it works! 73meters out of the landing window while the kids were sleeping. The loudest noise was the impact, which I can only describe as how I imagine slapping tiled wall with a large trout would sound… The dnt Zulus also was perfect. Clear night vision, press for range, aim the new zero...

That’s carcass weight not entire? Looks like I must try harder!

I reckon the extra weight and better bullet design would have made the difference and it would have gone through the rib into the vitals. 6.5cm and ELDX is a pretty proven paring. I guess the thing that surprised the most is that after inspection is it wasn’t actually a fatal wound. I’m going...

Personally I agree with applying for a “slot” but If you are Replacing a rifle within that same slot then the transfer should just be digitally reported like a shot gun. There is no additional risk to public safety. It’s just a waste of effort and damaging to the gun trade. So I mean swapping a...

Reason I said “box” is because we all know the fps won’t be anywhere near what says on the box… 🤣

Hornady website is a 200yard zero. I used a 100m zero with the bc and velocity from the Hornady website. All the aforementioned cartridges are going to be fabulous fun. Ok 2 to 4 more inches on 7prc would get the absolute most out of the round but we are talking 100 or 200 fps difference. But...

Whatever the box/manufacturer says. It looks like 100 fps per 2 inches of 7prc barrel so it would be far off.

I could have also done 7mm backcountry… Going off the factory box figures, 280AI 162gr ELDX would have 5cm more drop than 7prc 180gr ELDX at 300m according to my BC app. The 7mm backcountry country 175gr federal would actually have 2cm less drop over the same distance.

With articles like this and the recent one in the bbc, plus a relaxation of the out of season shooting licence grants I’m wondering if we are heading for an over reaction?

Well my PSE evolution for the 7prc is going to take 18weeks… so I’m having to get a base spec MDT in the meantime. I don’t think many of them are quick. Looking at that stock from NZ I wish I’d gone for that it’s got a lovely traditional shape with modern materials too late now. I like the pse...

Here I was trying to be nice. So basically either the tikka 7prc is sh1t or the YouTuber is sh1t 🤣

Google ai says: Bullet Stabilization ("Going to Sleep") Bullets do not always leave the barrel perfectly stable. They often exit with a slight wobble or "yaw". Initial Wobble: At 100 m, the bullet may still be oscillating around its center of gravity. This yaw can cause slightly larger...

Apparently this is a reality common phenomenon and nothing to do with gun weight.

That is a beautiful shaped stock. Who makes it?

This is probably way too late but maybe helpful for others: My experience was if you don’t mind the wait Dave Wylde at Valkyrie Rifles built me a very accurate gun with lots of his own modifications on off the shelf parts and some custom parts but not traditional and slow. Patrick Croft...
