The longer range ones were pass throughs, but still killed them. The closer ones bullets were recovered, generally under hide on other side, Zebra one was perfect mushroom @ 200 yrds, but it was finished off at about 5 yrds full charge in tight spikey scrub with a 458 Lott,Big Stallion perfect...

They were the 225 gr Accubond. I just read some of your other questions, about mounting and malaria. If you PH tells you not to worry about Malaria meds, dont get them, some side affects are nasty,you can do with out that. Mounting your throphys, get them done in your country, oh yeah make...

Hey 7mmRM, You will be amping !!! I went to Namibia five years ago and can relive every hunt like it had just happened, I have all my throphys except my Zebra in my office so I see them every day!! All advise has been spot on, 7mm Rem Mag would be the choice with Accubonds for me,I used a 338...

Good shooting! thats at small target for that distance. I shoot feral goats for pest control here at that kind of distance,some of them get down to that sort of size, normally the smaller nannys and kids, they are a challange to make first round kill shots on, usally only about a 7" kill zone...

Thats a great result and good news. Here in NZ the 162 AMax is a renowned killer,so much so the distributor cannot keep up with them. I go through about 2K of them a year, I shoot them in F class as well as my hunting bullet from my 284 WIN they are the great all rounder. Taken hares to red deer...

If the 30-378 recoils abit less than a 270, give her a pair of ear plugs and muffs and let her use that, the noise will problem more than the recoil, over come that, should be job done. Oh one more thing I should mention, once they kill an animal with YOUR rifle it then becomes THEIR RIFLE...

Before my wife went to shoot her red deer, I took her out a few times shooting feral goats,with the 708 she was going to use on deer, however I loaded a mild load with 120 gr NBT, It had enough to flatten a goat at 300 yrds but mild enough that it didnt frighten her nor beat the crap out of her...

They say that some where in the world is your twin, weeeel theyre not twins but very very close!! Big brother maybe ?SPOOKY 284 WIN Barnard P 28" #5 Trueflite fluted. Russo Laminate Inletting work by Trueflite Barrels NZ 300WSMMAD

Thanks, I thought it might be on the Norma case. 300WSMMAD

Kool, Hey whats the parent case of the THOR?

Shooting pest birds is fun for sure, we have magpies, rooks and those bloody spur winged plovers(nasty lil bastards!)here in NZ. Thankfully someone has had the sense to make them a "pest" now so shooting them isnt illegal anymore. I call them "pooof birds" cause when you hit them they kinda...

As much as the 284 WIN is my most favorite calibre,(I have two rifles in 284) personally I would go for the 7 WSM except with a 160- 180 gr projectile, not a 140 the for the game your hunting. Nothing wrong with the 140s but its all about down range energy, big is good! I would also suggest a...

The 284 WIN, not available in a factory rifle but man oh man you will never regret building it EVER! I shoot 162 Amax from mine @ 2950 fps,cheap to run, ok barrel life 2000 rnd ish, super compeditive calibre. 300WSMMAD

Thanks very much, I was hoping some one like Stiller had a contract, Ive emailed the match director the links. Kevin, Its a "local" match here in New Zealand, they have rules and different classes. ARs, bolts, even a WWII class, with different rules for each class. Im looking at Bolt rifle...

Gentleman, I need to know what other bolt actions currently being used by the Armed forces. Reason being I would like to build up a rifle for service rifle shoots but the number 1 criteria is that the action must be in current use by an armed force military/police some where in the world A...
