The military 7.7mm Arisaka bullet is right at .310 and the groove can be between .312 to .316 [ same for most .303's ] . The average WWII British .303 bullet is about .3095 . Both are bore riding...

C&R broke two by using the wrong bullets and loads in their handloads . They broke them by not knowing what they were doing , not the rifles fault .
After test shooting many different loads in over 200 T-99 rifles , I found that bullet to be about the worst for accuracy .
I was typing while listening to my wife say something , so the one group should clearly not be .09 but .90 . Plus the other spelling errors . Yes , single loading for accuracy can be different than...
The first mistake for military rifle shooting for accuracy is trying to duplicate military loads . The 220 load for the Krag was pick for pine board penetration , not accuracy . Another problem is...
Mine is a pleasure to shoot . I plan to take it buffalo hunting one day .
If you do not mind , could you give us a little run down on hunting in Italy ? What regions , what game , what rules ? Also how do the anti-hunters mess with you ? Luckily in Texas we have laws to...
Are you talking about hunting in Italy ? Or just everywhere .
The 6mm Rem has always been her favorite , always goes back to it after trying something new . We had used 100 grain bullets for a while , but I wanted to try the 80 grain at high speed . It shoots...
Got two more hogs Fri night with a Marlin lever in 35 Rem . Wife showed up for the Sat hunt , we saw nothing good . We split up for Sun morning . I heard her shot . She got a nice 8 pt whitetail...
Liability is a major problem for land owners . Anybody can sue for whatever reason now days . I know of a case where a guy was hog hunting , fell asleep and fell off of a low platform he was sitting...
Ovidio , you are always welcome to invite yourself hunting here the next time you are in the USA . It is the start of Texas deer season as of Nov 4th , so I was really just deer hunting . I just shot...
Changing subjects . I was beach shark fishing on the Texas coast about 2 weeks ago . Did ok , 2 smaller blacktips , a sandbar . But one the last evening with about 5 minutes of fishing time left as...
Yes, you did kill that hog with one shot . I guess it was one as I fell a sleep waiting for the shot !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was talking about acquiring the target and getting the shot off quickly on a moving target at night with a thermal .
I have many rifles and set ups good for hogs . I try to use as many different ones as I can , or what set up would be best for the time . I was night hunting with a 30 cal AR with a thermal . Not the...
I am just over run . I shot 1 behind the cabin , then another 2 hours later . I have 5 herds of 8 - 15 hitting the 5 feeders at the same time . I figure there are about 60 to 80 every night .
I am overrun with wild hogs at my place . I had a real big boar on the thermal at 80 yards , clear head shot . He went down in the tall grass and all I could see was the glow were he was . I set...
You have one of the young ones . one of mine is 118 .
The air cover is a little more complicated than Churchill . The carrier Indomitable was sent to give air cover but ran aground and had to go for repairs . Phillips thought his ships could handle the...
What I mean is so many K98k experts get their info from 20 to 40 year old books that have bad info . So much more info has come to light with all the Russian captures and records from behind the...
Old bad info . The books from 20 / 30 years ago are out dated now .
Turkey season starts Sat morning . I have some really big toms running around . Leaving soon .
Could be !!!!!!!! I wish you had a chance to use it , but the thermal was cool also .
I do . But I made my own mount . The clip just clears the scope [ mounted with the turrets turned out of the way ] and the offset has made no difference hunting .
