Tempting....

Sako's old load map used 19.3grn of N120 for their 50grn bullet loadings, and 21.6grn of N130 for their 55grn loading. Seeing as you're using Sako brass, this is probably why you haven't reached P-Max with a 50grn bullet, so far when using N130. Foxy's 19grn of N120 isn't by itself a...

Give Alan Maughn a call, I'm pretty sure he'd help.

I have always respected Don Heath's advice, and he's sadly missed as a voice of reason and experience. If you look at what goes through the auctions here, you would think that for our UK market there are sufficient large calibre rifles to go around, but having been through Jo'burg a couple of...

Please!!! Will PM for details.

Went right through two weeks in Eastern Cape, end of May into early June of this year. The only thing l took was a bottle of Smidge which worked wonderfully, but then we weren't in malarial areas. Then sitting on the plane in Jo'burg awaiting take off back to Dubai, l felt a red hot jab above...

I'll take the books please, pm for payment details. Thanks Ratty.

l would ask your friend to clarify with the team down there, if they are requiring body or head shots (which some ask for to reduce the amount of cut-away at the butchers) and exactly what species will be on the list, to aid in bullet selection. lf body shots are needed then l would agree with...

AB. There's a lot to be said for the "You can tone a big one down, where you can only push a smaller one so far up!" Then again, if someone needs to do such with a larger cartridge and to never achieve the higher performance, it does defeat the object somewhat. Why not embrace the reduced...

l too have to admit, that's an itch (.338/06, maybe Ackley) l have been giving thought to scratching..... l hope the project goes well for you AB.

Hand grip be damned Andy, you're only selling her to fund buying a pair of matching socks!!

l always wondered with the popularity of certain calibres in the US, why they went for the .325 and not .338

Hello Max. He's asking if it's produced in Germany or Hungary. By the writing on the ocular bell yours is Hungarian. Personally I've never found the quality of the non German pruduced models to be any different in quality or a detractor in any way.
