Read the same article in Shooting Times, did I believe it, no, same writer then buggered up bullet noses and shot for accuracy no further than 200 saying it made no difference. I am still on the fence with this, have used flat crowns, differing angles to cut recesses and haven’t found the sweet...

Well guys, on the pain meds front, I absolutely cannot take opioids of any fashion, they just make me vomit. I deal with the pain my own way. Good news, I go home tomorrow sometime. Very happy to be going home. Thanks again for all the support. Cheers.

I shot this sow at 30 yards with my 300WM, wasn’t looking for pigs at all at the time. Cheers.

G’day all, For the past few years all of my builds I have moved to a 13° crown after using 11° crowns on everything 30 cal and larger. So, what are your thoughts on this? As I am only using specialty VLD style bullet heals, I feel this makes a difference to bullet release and buffering from...

My 7STW & 7-08 are both 9.25” twist, never had an issue with that twist running 175’s, but not mono's. Both actually prefer 150’s or 168’s, go figure… Cheers.

I see we are very different across the big pond. Our governments here want to eradicate our native Dingo, as it was brought here 60,000 years ago by Aboriginals, it is deemed not ‘native’ and persecuted. As a hunter and conservationist, I am totally against this despicable practise of trapping...

Cannot remember the measurement, sorry. Last one I fooled with was broken about 25 years ago. Cheers.

The fore end is rebated and glued in. The cross bolt covering is plastic… Cheers.

I used to build WSM rounds on Win Model 70 LA, Kimber 8400 LA or REM 700's, only the 700 needed a block in the mag. All needed widening and windowed mag boxes. I don't see you having an issue, but if you do, @sable tireur has a solution. Cheers.

Can’t wait to finish building my 6.5x300 Weatherby, blank is sitting there 30” finish length, 1:8” twist. These Nosler 150g ABLR should be the ticket. Here’s the rifle with custom 264WM barrel, 29.5”, 1:8” twist on a trued REM 700 Sendero II action, HS-Precision stock & 4.5-27x50 FFP F-class...

I opened a box of Nosler 338” 225g Accubonds, it had 2 6.5mm 140g Accubonds and only 46 total 225g Accubonds. Had several boxes, opened them all and only 1 box was full of the correct weight and calibre. Never got an answer from Nosler… Cheers.

Exceptional build there, that stock looks like my 404 Jeffrey, best English walnut I could find. The new owner is overwhelmed with the build. Cheers.

Another update for you all. Surgery went well, recovery is very painful and looks like I’ll be in hospital until Friday. Kind regards. Cheers.

204 Ruger with that bolt face. Cheers.

Week in hospital now. Thank you for the prayers,it’s appreciated. Cheers.
