Was pleasantly surprised when I heard a interview on the ABC yesterday. The interviewer actual called a bit of the bullshit. criminals are criminals and will not hand in their unregistered firearms so what is the amnesty about. Also questioned the statement about criminals sourcing their firearms co...

Thanks everyone, pretty quite day, wife and daughter in Canberra with Sophies boyfriend who was airlifted last weekend after rolling his ute and didnt get home to late afternoon. Poked about the farm refreshing a few sets, getting some more traps in the ground and checking a few cameras. Thought I w...

One tomato so far this year, bloody labrador keeps helping herself. Destroyed a chili plant the other day jumping to reach the higher tomatoes. Looking yesterday there should be 3 or 4 ripe enough to pick this afternoon if she hasnt got them already.

I use 07 with my lighter 330gr bullets but they are a lighter plinking load only around 1300fps. Quite accurate and 1" groups are the norm at 50 so head shots on rabbits. Still more velocity than I got with BP loads with the same pill and I shot a few fallow with them. Couple of sambar I have s...

Fired up the beast this morning, lamb shoulder going on in a few minutes, ribs at some stage.

I think sierra have probably priced themselves out of the market. Federal are now offering 100 rd packs in the more popular varmint rounds loaded with V-max, S&B use V-max in their ammo. Sierras are a great pill but when you start looking at the other similar options available for around half th...

They still producing? I’ve had a hankering to try making apple cider!

Yeah mate, havent had anything done with them for around 10 years but still apples on most of them most years. Fair bit of black spot but should be OK for cider if you want to give it a go.

Oh I intend on doing that Shorn, I certainly do, gunna try conning you into getting some hazel nut wood for me as well, when you pruning your mum's trees again ?

When are you coming over again? sure she will let you prune as many as you like

Just need to get over here and take a load of apple wood home with you.
Despite all my work pushing them out there's still about 3000 left

I cook to temp and nearly always wrap. Cook time can vary, I have had lamb shoulders take anywhere from a bit over 4hrs to 6.5hrs. Once the outside has developed a nice bark and taken on about as much smoke as it can I wrap in foil. Stops the outside going really dark and stops it drying out. Even l...

Think I am on to my 3rd now and grabbed a new set of collets for it a month or two back because the old ones were flogged out. Still they all pulled over 1000rds before letting go. Havent had one break where yours did, all mine let go where the handle goes into the head. One of them had a serious be...

10 or more longarms, 3 or more pistols and big calibre stuff is there alleged "high risk" bullshit at the moment. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Pistols have been for a while, last few renewals have been put on hold until after we have supplied a P??? what ever the form issued by po...

So I dropped the rifle off to Gunsmith Graeme Dunnet who is newly based in Goulburn on Tuesday and asked him to fit a stainless 1in9 or 1in8 Bergara barrel chambered in 22-250rem in a medium shorter barrel which will act as a walk around varmint and fallow deer rifle which is what I am after for ar...

First up, I gather it won't change anything other than the criminal status of it. The caveats and rules are drawn from legislation everywhere else in Australia, just not NSW. Finally, if you disagree with terminations, that's fine - don't have one. They aren't making it compulsory. Why change anyth...

It is a far more complex issue than just decriminalising abortion which I think most people support and where rabbitz 85% came from. As proposed I doubt it would have anywhere near that support, certainly it hasnt got 50% support in parliament or glady wouldnt have postponed the vote. I am certainly...
