Hi Bruce If you're looking at getting into it then go on YouTube and check out "Mark and Sam after work". They're over here in WA and are shooting various cartridges out to beyond 4000m! It could give you a good idea of what to use. They've got heaps of videos about rifle setup as well. Ce...

Thanks alan, not sure what the story was there but both pm's came through at the same time.

John, I'll contact you when i get more of a chance.
Thanks mate!
Brenton

Cheers Steven I'll look into that.

Sorry John your pm never came through.

Cheers for the replies guys! John, thanks for the links, I'll keep checking their site. Most of those were for a short action of which there are heaps around. If i could use my original sporter weight synthetic stock i would but the barrel channel is way too small. BAT, unfortunately I don't know an...

G'day all! I posted an ad in the "for sale, wanted" section without much luck (which i was partially expecting due to it being unusual). But that's ok. So i thought I'd ask here if anyone knows of any dealers/shops etc here in aus that have used stocks available. I'm looking for one to sui...

g'day all!! just wondering if anyone can tell me how to go about changing an action. do i need to apply for an addition to my license, considering i will now have two actions and serial numbers? or do i forfeit my original one? i am assuming its not just a simple exercise. any info would be greatly ...

denisA, id be pretty interested in those 230's mate. finding it pretty hard to get projys at the moment. and i reckon they would suit the higher mv in my rifle perfectly. send me a pm if you still have them, cheers. eco, i fully respect everyones opinion, and like i said i certainly dont want to sta...

oh, and getting back to the original thread, while i am biased, i think the 300rum has alot of potential as a very accurate cartridge, especially at the longer ranges. if your looking for flat shooting and wind bucking ability, then its up there with the best. imho.

happy shooting

while i dont want to start an argument, or go too much off the original thread, wouldnt it be in the sports best interest if we all became a little more accommodating towards new shooters. i cant speak for the other states, or other regions here in the west, but in the wheatbelt area, the sport appe...

hey i totally agree, after seeing the amount of dirt that gets "displaced" after firing two ranges i can see how it may be annoying. on the other hand, i always shoot on the other end of the mound to anyone else, and everyone always wears hearing protection (like they should be). it has been comment...

cheers guys, ill have a hunt around. im going to get a barrel from true flite, as thats what ive got now and its been unreal! and very well priced!

happy shooting

hi guys, i thought id weigh in as im currently shooting a heavy 30 over here in the west i have a 300rum which im hopefully about to rebarrel so i can run the berger 230's. up until now ive been using the hornady 225's but theyve stopped production for the foreseable future. anyway, while she does k...

g'day all. its been a while since ive been here, i hope everyone is doing well, both on and off the range! anyway, i was wondering who makes a direct drop in replacement for rem700 actions? unfortunately due to the projectile situation at the moment i need to rebarrell my rifle so i figured while im...

when and where? if i have my load sorted ill be there for sure

guess i will have to see as theyve been ordered. 168's for me would be way too light, mv would be somewhere near 3500 im guessing.
i was going to run the 200gn sierras but the heavier the better for my cartridge.
