ZG ,I got that mate, I have the fads for the last 30 odd years in Fullbore. For many many years we shot 1:14" barrels with 155gr Match bullets, but then somebody decided that 1:11 was the new thing. And as an old Kiwi legend Din Collings once observed, a bullet only requires enough twist to...

Gert, you do know that a M-S in .458 is one of the rarest chamberings! I have never seen one down here. Also the 10.75x68 and I have only seen one 6.5x68 in Australia. I have a good mate here who owns every pre WW2 M-S in both half stock and stutzens. He will be excited to hear of your .458 for...

Thought you might enjoy a pic of my 1963 Mannlicher 8x68. This rifle shoots just over 1.0" groups with RWS Kegelspitz bullets.

Thought you might like to see my 1959 GK in 7x64. Hendoldt scope which is the forerunner of the Ziess Z series and beautifully clear. This rifle shoots 170gr Norma Vulcans to 0.8" with VV N560 powder. Regards. Mike

Gents , thanks for the replies , work commitments have prevented me from actually shooting my .300 H&H , I have owned it for almost 2 months and have not fired a shot in anger. I have acquired some 180 Grain Vulcans, 220 Grain Sierras and some 165 grain Hornady Interlocks which I intend to use...

Dear Forum , I have recently acquired a .300 H&H and would value the opinions of any memebers that have experience with the .300 H&H and RWS Cone Point projectiles & Norma Vulcan projectiles. regards Von Dutch
