Hello, Waiting on arrival of a new .22 creedmoor hopefully this month. New calibre for me and looking for some load data. Planning to shoot 77g TMKs or if they’re not so hot 80g Berger VLDs. It would be great if I could do something for 4831SC as I have plenty of it. Rifle will mainly be for...

Interested to see that the EU is looking to ban all lead projectiles for hunting with relatively short notice. While I and plenty of others have been testing various copper hunting bullets over recent years and while deeply unhappy about the removal of lead, have a solution sort of lined up, I...

We do the initial processing of the animal, we gralloch (the gaelic word for gut) on the hill, then take the carcass back to a processing larder, generally on the horse or if it's too wet with an ATV. We then take off the head, lower legs, and rest of the insides in the larder but leave the...

I thought I'd write a brief note about my first season using the LRX as it might be of interest to some of you guys, i've used the TTSX before, but with an estate policy change for this year to shooting 100% none lead ammo I decided to try the LRX. I am a professional deer stalker (guide) here...

Interested to see what you guys think of the above, thinking of building a fast varmint rifle on a R700 long action I have. Would be looking at probably a 24" barrel and a suppressor. This will be used for mainly for red fox and crows so I'm thinking 60-75g bullets. It'll be a working rifle that...

We're looking to do spot and stalk self guided in Idaho, big ambitions but it really appeals - and we're all about the adventure more than the shooting. Some articles would be amazing if you could scan and send, I'll message you an email address. Thanks, Sam

Hi guys, In preparation for a friend and I hopefully heading out to Idaho in Spring 2022 for a bear hunt, I'd be really interested to hear any recommendations for books / articles / films/ websites etc to geek out on bears and learn as much as possible before hand. Thanks, Sam

So finally got it today and put a scope on it... load development with 162g A-Max and N170 starts tomorrow.

I think 160 Accubonds are going to be the poison. I'll probably use N165 or similar I think just because that's easy to get over here. Thank guys!

That looks awesome. Always on the fence about twisted fluted... but that is sexy.

Hello! Very excited to be receiving my first ever true magnum soon - a factory Sako 75 in this round. It's still with the original 26" barrel and has a muzzle break with it, round count of approximately 200. Happily I've also managed to get a set of Redding dies and some brass thrown in. I...

Thanks for all your help, Interesting to hear what you guys think and especially about the bear angle. Sadly the bear hunt with be a one off (for now at least) so buying a rifle in the perfect calibre makes less sense than 'making do' for the tie being. The craic about Sherman magnums is...

My .270 is due a rebarrel probably at the end of this coming season. It’s a standard long action 700 remmy. As I’m now using a different rifle for guiding work the .270 is going to just be a “fun” long range rifle for me that I’ll hand load for, so wild cats are on the table and I fancy...

Blasers are one of the most popular rifles in Europe and the UK - I think they sold over a million of the R93. I've found they probably have the best out of the box accuracy of the factory rifles that we see in this country. Also, the bolt system takes some getting used to, but is insanely...

Hi Ed, Thanks for your reply. I have no idea about which state we'd want to visit necessarily, Montana / Wyoming would be high on the list I think!
