@Forrest Halley Now now mate play nicely

@hunting gold He is on holidays in new Zealand at the moment but I will answer anyway Bob

@steve white It may be but it won't kill them any deader than a 22-250 with a 60gn Vmax or any further away. When you look anything the 243 can do another cartridge can do better Bob

@CoElkHunter Mate get rid of that useless 338 and get a Whelen. That way you just need 06 brass to form your whelen and 25-06 cases. Easy as mate and all problems solved. Simple my son, no brain strain Bob

@Marcos Rodriguez My son uses the 150gn SST in his 08. Great bullet and only ever retrieved one from any game he has shot Bob

@Jim Golden My 2 Enfields a P14 and a M17 The M17 has the pepper laminate stock and in 35 Whelen AI

@Robmill70 Stock it up with a good 225gn at 2,900fps and have fun or a 250gn speer or Woodleigh at 2,700fps. I used a 250gr Hornady round nose on my oryx and it was devastating . Golf ball size exit hole. It just seemed to hit harder than the others. Bob

@Forrest Halley You must be suffering concussion from that 458 Lott your mind is a bit addled. A mate was playing with both while you were still in diapers. LOADED the SAME projectile in both no problems. I may have to wave some Vegemite under your nose to regain your senses. HA HA HA...

@K95 Ken I uses Speers load of 64 grains of CFE223 for a chronographed velocity of 2,700fps near as dam it. It's a ball powder so leave plenty of room in the case. When I found out it was no longer being imported to Australia I stocked up on it. The same with hodgon Superformance I managed...

@Rule 303 @Forrest Halley Ya both a pair of Muppets The 38-55 and the 375 Winchester big bore take exactly the same bullets. The 375 big bore us just a hot loaded 38-55. You can boost the old girl up to almost equal the big bore. Bob

@Robmill70 P14 and M17 mate , M17. Bob

@Jim Golden Leave it cock on closing, a lot faster to operate as the cooking is shared on the up stroke and closing. Bob

Csmiffy Just ask Dr Google. I have seen them on ebay Bob

@Puddle Woodleigh do some lovely bonded bullets for the 9.3 in weights upto 320 grains. Bob

@K95 Ken I tried 2208, 2206H, BM2, 8208 and reloader 15. All gave good results but noting compared to CFE223 for velocity or accuracy in the Whelen for bullets upto 275grains. CFE223 seems to sit between 2208/Varget and 2299/H4350 in burn rate and gives high velocities at acceptable...

@Flewis H&H used them to make bespoke 375H&Hs. You can buy 375H&H mah boxes to suit the Enfields off ebay for next to nothing. Take some metal out of the rear of the action and mag well, alter the bolt stop and done. If using a P14 the old 303 bolt face is the same as a magnum case. The M17...

@K95 Ken Woodleigh Max load is 59gn and fills the case to the top and is a very compressed load. Pressure is 47,000 cup. I worked up to 63 grains using a 60cm drop tube and this is to the base of the neck. The load is still compressed but not as much as the normal 59gn load. I experienced...

@AfricanSniper915 And done safely. The usual load using Adi 2209/H4350 fills the case and is compressed. It also runs very low pressure of 47,000cup. If you use a 60cm, 2 foot drop tube you can get a few more grains in and still not be over pressure. Yes it is still a compressed load but I...

@AfricanSniper915 There's no flies snd a 310gn Woodleigh in the Whelen at 2,455fps. Bob

@CoElkHunter It don't take much to traumatise you then. Imagine If'n they were real they would be down around her ankles. Now that's a thought you don't want to have. She we old have yo put her bra on while tying her shoe laces, if she could see her shoes that is. Bob

@Just Gina I drove trucks that long my viens are full of diesel and my clotting agent they discovered were powder granules of various sizes to accommodate all wound sizes. I think that comes from 45 odd years of reloading. The band Midnight Oil had an album called Diesel and Dust My...

@JOHN GRENZ I think even @Just Gina would draw the line at those coffee beans. Bob

@Just Gina Bob says you went to give blood the other day but all they got was pure caffeine. You have a problem. Have you tried a good old fashioned English cup of tea to calm you. HA HA HA HA HA Bob

@Vashper I hear R8s are pretty good too. Bob

@R eight Me thinks you have been sniffing to much varget agin mate. Might use the 243 as a walking stick but at my height it would be useless at that too. I think I will just keep using them as tomato stakes. Bob

@jwood1284 I usually use a fire to smoke game. My Whelen just kill stuff. Even the 225gn at 2,900fps ain't going fast enough to make game smoke. HA HA HA HA HA Bob

@AfricianSniper915 You just described the 35 Whelen as well. What you hit with that stays hit and don't go far if at all either Bob

@steve white My wife thinks I'm a real treasure. At times she wishes I was still buried. Now days my teeth are like stars, they come out at night. Bob

@Just Gina I thinks you have a coffee problem Bob

@MS 9x56 They work just as well on either continent. The ol ought six is right at home in Africa and the 9.3 is rapidly gaining popularity state side. Bob

@CM McKenzie The 35 cal Woodleigh from 225gn to 310gn go well as well. I have a load that gets the 310s to 2,455fps out of the Whelen that I hope to try on scrub bull in July/ August. Bob

@Wishfulthinker580 They are interchangeable but the bolt stop needs to be altered to the best of my knowledge. I have changed them around between my rifles and they work fine. Bob

@Wyatt Smith I know mate it's just that I prefer the Enfields over the mauser. Bob

@Wyatt Smith NO the original safety is ideal and in the right spot. Left as cock on closing they are very very fast to operate and the helical bolt lugs lock up like a bank vault as opposed to the flat legs on the mauser. The bolt locks down into a cut out in the action for a strong extra...

@CoElkHunter But will the new generations fight like our forebears for their freedom or will the gay pride, greenie wave flowers and rainbows at themselves while changing go away you meanie we don't like that or those big guns. Your frightening us. Bob

@Don458 The reason I intend to stay armed. Bob

@CoElkHunter Mate sorry to say they are no longer making 338WM ammo but are concentrating on properly loaded Whelen ammo and 25-06. They are talking of ceasing production of 338WM after reading all the praise for the other 2 on AH HA HA HA HA HA Bob

@375 Ruger Fan Good to see. Some one that knows what they are doing and staff that want to be there. Two things sadly lacking in Australia. Our dickhead government sold most of our manufacturing to overseas companies. Shit even our military uniforms are made overseas because it's...

@Von Gruff Must be an ex truck drive that has put up with to many idiots using high beam. Bob.

@Just Gina My wife makes the best coffee and always gets my first more coffee fore me. Beautiful wife and coffee equals happy man. After that my day goes to shit, I have to make my own. If you want to live DON'T DRINK a coffee I have made. People I have made coffee for have said the only way...

@Forrest Halley The 30 cals are great cartridges even the humble 30-30, my son even bought a 308 over the pissant 243. I have no problems with the 30s and have a soft spot for the old 303. It's just I don't have a use for a 30 cal at the moment. Bob

@supergrizzly I had a 444 marlin on a No4 SMLE action that I could stoke up safely. I used to get close to 2,600fps with 240gn xtp and 2,400fps with 280gn Woodleigh. Those 240s make very short work of pigs at over 100yds. I hit a good size pig around 80kg up the backside with a 240gn xtp...

@Doug Hamilton Unless it's a porsche cayenne 4x4 then you can leave the the canyon with your buck in style. HA HA HA HA Bob

@rookhawk Better to have an old Chevy nova to drive everyday than have a rolls Royce in the garage and walk everywhere . Bob

@supergrizzly The standard marlin barrel will be fine with the 265gn fnsp even in a 1 in 38 twist. I forgot the ftx needed short case I was using a 444 bolt action. The 240gn Hornady xtp is a deadly bullet on pigs and deer even hard driven to over 2,500fps. It does do one hell of a lot of...

@supergrizzly Have you looked at cast for the 444. My experience is the 240s are to explosive in the 444. The 265gn Hornady flat nose and FTX are where the 444 shines they were designed especially for the mighty marlin. Bob

@Rob404 Reminds me of the time I was asked for a 12 inch shifter. I asked him if he was undoing metric or SAE nuts. He said SAE why. I told him mine is no good it's a 300mm shifter and only good for metric nuts. He walked off grumbling and came back a few minutes after calling me a lot of...

@krish Thanks mate will do. Appreciate it. Bob

@CBH Australia Chris the 7mm 08 may be fine but it's not as accurate as the 6.5s for some strange reason. If'n it was me I would seriously look a Savage target rifles. A few years ago a competition shooter went to the Savage factory. They were doing a run of their new F class rifles in...
