Lighting for night hunting

Best of the best rifle mounted lighting IMO you can't go past Wolfeyes or just for torches! Many different mounting systems. I have taken foxes out to 300-350 yards and can see well out past 450 meters with my Sea Lion Hunter! http://wolfeyes.com.au

.204 reload cost in Australia?

With Winchester brass about $0.83 with 39 SBK and with Nosler brass and SBK $1.02. That's providing the brass was reused 5 times! Can't seen to find my 223 data but from memory it was around $0.68 with Win brass. And that is just for brass powder projectiles and primers.

Some pics of game and ferals from Australia

Yes and a very lean meat high in iron. The tail makes a great stew or just warped in foil on the BBQ ( my favourite ) and is more sweet and tender than ox tail! A young doe is good meat and makes great jerky. But the taste is not gamey but different to any other meat. A big buck can get a bit rank. ...

Silver scopes??

Also the arctic fox scopes are built for spotlighting in mind they are crystal clear at night! For the closer shots I would recommend a 4-16 power scope!!

Silver scopes??

I have a bushnell 8-32x40 on my remmy. 32 is way too much magnification for me but at the low end 8 is fine for me as I rarely shoot under 100 yards( under 100 is just cheating if you ask me. Ha ha ha) I would check out Arctic Fox Optics and they are an Aussie company and they do silver! Awesome sco...

muzzle velocity

Welcome Davy from a fellow Aussie!!!! Lighter bullets plus more powder = speed but most of us like to find the load that give us the best accuracy ( one hole at a 100 yards). Powder company data and other reloading manuals are only guidelines as they are liable for printing theses loads so what they...
