    1093 yards

    They naturally migrated in a few years ago from Eastern Europe - Poland - Germany and they are considered a native species which is to be protected (after 170 years absence). Although there are always conspiracy people who think they are brought here in vans. At the moment the population grows...

    1093 yards

    Personally I've hunted roedeer, red deer, fallow deer, wild boar and once a 'Ovis gmelini' which are now all but extinct since the reappearance of wolves in our country. "Long range" is another thing; 200 meters is my max until now since it is not in our hunting culture to shoot much beyond 100...

    1093 yards

    I reached 1000 meters at Borris in Denmark last week, both saturday and sunday. Rifle is a Blaser R8 in 300winmag in GRS Ragnarok chassis. Bullet 178grs eld-m. Moderate wind 1-2m/sec and a very interesting experience. Learned a lot, still many things to learn! Those of you visiting (or living...

    Grtools reloading software

    Reloading software is always a guide not a law. But I use grtools to true my powder using the french OBT method ( see topic in Discord) and a chrono

    Best primer recommended for the 210 and 190 Berger VLD in 300 Win Mag loading.

    I use Federal 215 primers for everything I reload in my .300 winmag, amongst which Berger VLD 190grs, Barnes TTSX 180grs and Hornady ELD-M/X 178grs.

    thing to adjust focus?

    Hi, I'm trying to train dry firing my Blaser R8 in 300winmag with a S&B pmII 5-25*56 Inside the house the scope obviously does not focus, I'm living in a city and it's extremely awkward to have a point of aim somewhere outside, either at my neighbours or in the street. Perhaps you can imagine...

    Amp annealer not working

    Seems like a 'DOA' or Dead On Arrival. Happens even at the best of electronics and/or quality control. The units get tested before leaving the factory but during transport from down under things can happen. Bummer. The first time I hear anything like this about AMP. I hope they can swap the unit...

    Searching my stash and found these...

    Congrats! This is unthinkable in the Netherlands. We are allowed a max of 10.000 rounds of ammo or primers combined and they are to be stored inside a vault so loosing track of them would be difficult. I'm happy for you, must have been a happy moment!

    Tumbler, Vibratory Cleaner or Ultrasonic Cleaner?

    Ultrasonic, 2 liters water, a dash of dishsoap and half a teaspoon of citric acid. Rinse in clean water with some sodium carbonate, rinse again in clean water.

    Wrong Bullet in Berger Box!

    Not bullets but I once found some 20+ oddly bright green colored compound in my Federal small rifle primers in one box of a brick I bought. I mailed a picture to Federal but they let me know it was impossible because of QC. Whatever. I discarded them, the rest worked well.

    Reloading supplies

    I looked at the site and it's totally rubbish, primers branded as 'glock', a kanuk branded as 'Remington 870' ... I tried to whatsapp with them for giggles but no reply. If you need to part with your money there are better ways.

    Hollow points

    I've used those to hunt and went to lead free later. Now I can't get ttsx so I'm back to the 165grs Gamekings in my .308, very accurate bullet. Dropped large boar and red deer
