Hello folks. I've been meaning to put something together on this topic for a while as it's a persistent blind spot within the shooting and reloading community. @Shooter375 s recent thread on crimping finally gave me the incentive to put words to forum. Not calling him out specifically, just the...

Hi Guys, I'm now getting comfortable enough with my pistol shooting that I'd be happy to do some comps, which bring me onto my question. I wanna do the local 2 gun league, and I want to buy a dedicated competition AR. My budget is up to 5k, preferably under 3. 16 or 18" barrel, off the shelf...

Hey all, I'm looking into buying a 5 round magazine for one of my UK buddies from a US retailer and I'm wondering what the situation is in terms of sending it to him? The magazine is not controlled in the US, he has a firearm on his certificate in the UK which would authorize his possession on...

I'm visiting Phoenix, AZ on 6/30 and I wondered if any of you guys local to that area fancied a meet up? Open to whatever really, a couple beers, a meal, maybe a cigar. Let me know! Al

Hello folks, Now I'm settling in here in the USA, the next item on the agenda is to start doing some shooting! I've never owned or shot a pistol before (because UK) and so I'd like to pick something up to have a play with. Right now this will purely be for plinking and practice, although...

Evening gents. A question for you all that I'm sure has been covered before, but that may spark some debate nonetheless. I find in life generally that I value quality more than quality and that I'm quite happy to save a long time and pay a lot for the 'best'. THis also applies to my thoughts...

Hello chaps, I'm scheduled to move to Wisconsin full time from September (assuming I can get a flight and visa sorted during the present chaos) and I'm keen to learn about the hunting opportunities stateside, specifically in WI. So, what's the deal for you guys? In Europe, hunting is easy...

Gents. I've just today recieved a job offer for a role in the US, based in Milwaukee. I'm almost certainly going to accept it and I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. One question though. I would very much like to continue my shooting hobbies in the US, but I'm a bit unclear about the...

I see many post on here about the pursuit of accuracy in handloading. I thought I'd share my opinions on this topic and leave the floor open for you fine gentlemen to chip in. My tin hat is firmly in place, so don't hold back! So many times I see folks saying on the internet "I've got a nice...

Hi Chaps, I was wondering if anyone has any powder recommendaitons for making plinking loads with the .375H&H? I've got a couple of lovely full fat 300gr loads now, but I'd like something a bit cheaper to run for running boar comps at the range. I'm also shooting a lot of volume for this...

Gents. You lot have the pleasure of being the largest bunch of American acquaintances I have, and so I wished to ask you a question. I've been offered a job in the US arm of my current company and am seriously considering taking it. It's a big promotion over my current role and it gets me into...

Evening gents. I've just stumbled across this tool and having had a play, I'm fairly impressed. It's basically a free to download and use version of Quickload. Link: https://grtools.de/index.php You need to sign up on the site to download it, but no card details or anything and after that...

I enjoy seeing the pictures of various members trophies on here, and the lengths some of you go to present them in the best light within your homes. That said, I do wish to pose a question to you all. I love hunting, but honestly, I find I'm not too hung up on trophies. At present, this is...

Hi all, Another .375H&H question for you all, and I'm sure one that's popped up before, but let's see what the current 'state of the art' looks like! Depending on which reloading data I look at, there sems to be a bit of a range of opinion on the requirement for magnum primers for this...

Hi all, I'm looking for some load data for a 300gr Gameking out of a 375H&H. I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the Sierra manual and would be willing to post a pic of the page for this cartridge? Recommendations on powder etc are also most welcome, although I'm likely going to try N160 and...

A question for you all. I spent the last weekend participating in a Dangerous Game training course here in the UK. I had a lot of fun, learn a load of useful stuff and got the chance to have a play with many interesting large calibre rifles in 'hunting' situations (closer ranges, reloading...

Hey Guys, I've just picked up my very own reloading stuff! It's an RCBS rock chucker supreme kit and I'm quite excited about the whole thing. I was taught the basics and used to borrow the kit of a friend whilst I was at uni, but now I've moved away for a job it's a 4hour round trip to visit...

Hi all, A quick question on my rifle. My go to hunting rifle is an old .270win Tikka M695 with a pretty walnut stock which I rebarrelled fairly recently. The one in my avatar to be precise. It shoots great most of the time, printing 1.5" groups with factory softpoint and a little under an inch...

I've recently been introduced to biltong through an old school friend and I am thoroughly converted to its wonders. That said, it seems difficult stuff to source here in the uk. As such, I thought I might try making some of my own, either with beef or possibly venison. Can anyone suggest any...

Afternoon all, Great to join the forum! I'm a keen stalker, clay and game shot based in the UK. No immediate plans for an Africa trip, but like most hunters it's on the bucket list and hopefully the right oppurtunity will arise in the not too distant. I've joined to learn a bit more about the...
