    How do you stabilise your rifle for load testing/sighting in?

    I use a Caldwell 7 rest with foam zip tied to the front yoke, figger it's closer to resting on my hand to minimize jump. At the range one day another fellow was having kittens trying to zero his new suppository with a Lead Sled. I tried a shot using his setup, found it unnatural and...

    How do you stabilise your rifle for load testing/sighting in?

    My thoughts..... bench rest for load development and starting to zero. Finish zeroing using whatever position you fancy or are most likely to shoot from. Minimize human error for development and allow your natural error to be incorporated into your final zero.

    Belly Box

    Fast Twists Smaller Than Forty Bore?

    Interesting concept, 1 in 30 might be viewed as a slower twist relative to caliber in a .32. But I think it would still act the same as in a large caliber. Looking forward to any trials and reports from people who've worked with it.

    Changing Powder charges on woodswalk.

    Strikes me that changing either charge or holdover requires accurate knowledge of the range. I've got a Lyman 57 on my TC that I've set up so I can easily change between two ranges. Factory sight is set up for a third, just pop the peep off if needed. If a different target range is needed...

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    When needed while shooting and whenever food gets caught between my teeth.

    Travel and hunting Bears in BC, Canada from Aussie.

    Rustywood is located in Mission, not a real far drive in terms of distance. Currently showing Schuetzen and some Swiss in stock as well as Pyrodex. And some caps. BUT.....it appears you must produce the Canadian Possession and Acquisition License to purchase. With that information; perhaps...
