A little off topic but what rifle/cartridge are you planning on using?

I used Miendl siding boots for a New Zealand Tahr/Chamios mountain hunt some years ago. They were highly recommended by my guide/outfitter.

Not the SST, haven't tried them but I use the Interlocks SPBT (#2735) good BC for a hunting bullet (0.486) in my Winchester M70 pre-64 featherweight (22" barrel). My pet load has chroned then at 3,044 fps when I last used them. And did they shoot

I have a 308 Norma Magnum full custom built on FN Mauser 98 trued action, Douglas premium 24" barrel. I haven't shot it for quite a few years but I recall I had great results with Hornady 180gr Interlocks SPBT (#3072) BC of 0.452 (not bad for a hunting bullet). I have got in the past up to 3,153...

I am in Australia. I have been considering a new rifle build for some time. My brother-in-law is my gunsmith and barrel maker and his barrels are achieving some good reports (https://www.allanswangunsmithing.com/barrels). I was thinking of 300 Win Mag. I have a 308 Norma Mag hunting rifle but...

been looking at another rifle build. Thinking it will be a 300 mag. Was considering 300 Win, but after watching a YouTube video on the 300 PRC and was particularly taken by the supposed flexibility it offers. Being able to handle 225-230 gr bullet for LR targets and 180-212gr for hunting. This...

I hunted Himalayan Tahr and Chamois in the southern mountains of New Zealand a few years back. I took a Winchester pre 64 Model 70 featherweight 270 Win. It weighted in at 7lbs 11oz including scope. My guide advised against a bipod. Shots were not extremely long 200 yards and 300 yards.

What said news. Chris was a true American patriot and hero as well as a committed Christiana and family man. Well don thou good and faithful servant, R-I-P. Prayers for Taya and his family.

Steve, What MV were you getting with these bullets out of your 300WM?

Thanks for the input and i appreciate the effort you've taken to contribute to this decision. But just a couple of comments on them: 1. As good as it is, I don't want another .308 Norman Mag. Cases are hard to find and are relatively expensive. Plus I don't want to get the cases mixed between...

Footsore, I'm in Brisbane, Qld and my brother-in-law is in Ipswich, just west of Brisbane. He is Allan Swan 07 3288 1880

This will be my first venture into a long range hunting rifle and I seek advice of forum members. But first let me set the scene: I already have a .308 Norma Mag, custom built for me in the late 70s early 80s, see pick below: But it was built as a classic hunting rifle rather than a...

Just to add a bit to this thread. I have a custom .308 Norma Mag hunting rifle built for me in the late 70s early 80s with Douglas premium 24" barrel. I have not shot it a lot in recent years, but decided to try some loads with AR2209 ADI powder (packaged and sold in the US as H4350 I...
