Thanks, I tried necking down an old Winchester 308 case at a freinds place and we tried it in his tikka and there was no problem but when I got home and put it in my browning x bolt I could not close the bolt. I fixed it by running it through my die. I think the shoulder was to flat but I...

Thanks and that works out great as I just brought Hornady dies.

I'm new to reloading and took some advice to use Laupua cases as they are ment to be the best. I shoot a 7mm08 and lapua only have 308 so I was going to neck them down. Can anyone see a problem with this.

Is the problem the cold weather or the hot? It doesn't get that cold in Australia in the summer it's hot 42 Celsius and winter -3 at coldest. But when I go to New Zealand each year it can get cold but -20 would be extremely cold. I have a friend that uses h4350 and it works well for him but he...

I have a browning x bolt 7mm 08 and I'm trying to find a good load for red deer and thar. I just wish that you could by sample sized packets it makes for expensive testing when in Australia we pay $55 for a container of adi powder and the same for projectiles. If I could get packets of twenty...

I have been thinking the same thing. I went thar shooting in April on the west coast of new Zealand. my cuzin shot a 12inch bull thar with his 270 wsm and the bullet didn't come out the other side. I have a browning x-boltt 7mm08 an I'm feeling a bit inadequate. I've just started hand loading...

Hi, I don't know if there is any Thar hunters out there but I just wanted to know what good projectile would be. I have been using 139 grain 7mm08 hornady ballistic tips to shoot kangaroos and when I shot a big buck roo in the shoulder I expected a big exit hole but there was none. I'm going to...

Thanks Ralph, I was keen to have a look at a browning but they seem very few and far between in Australia or at least where I live in Nsw. My local Gus shops seem to be stocked by either Remington or barreta. And I must say I just sold a t3 300wsm and I think I'm for the smaller calibers now.

I am thinking buying a sako finnlight in7mm08. I have never owned a sako but have owned a tikka t3 and was not that impressed as when I was hunting the magazine used to rattle quite loud. Can anyone tell me if they are as good as what I've herd.
