Now - let's be clear - I am not interested in taking 100 rounds to do load development - the less I can shoot to get 99% of the way - I am happy. I have long accepted that the last little increase in precision and the extra time and effort it takes is well lost within my shooting ability.

We held our first weekend-long shooting course at the weekend. And by all accounts, it was a great success. Three shooters (one collected from...

You can spend all day shooting at a piece of paper, trying to get the smallest group and still not really learn much, apart from how statistics are a hell of a drug. Instead, can I suggest you start introducing some stressors that shake out where things can be improved and what you need to do to improve them.

It won't be new to shooters that bullets have a sweet spot when it comes to seating depth. For a long time F-Class and BR shooters have been 'jamming the lands' - setting seating depth out long enough where the bearing surface is actually touching (or even slightly pushed into) the throat of the rifling.

The Kestrel is one of those items that can seem to have a bit of black magic about it. For those who haven't used...

Gillice Practical Rifle Events recently hosted the TSSC Practical 22LR shooting competition - and, as we have come to expect from Simon and team, it was another excellent day shooting!

What are ES and SD? How do they affect your shooting - and more importantly - how can I manage and reduce them?

The Solution Previously, I have discussed why you should be protecting your ears and covered some of the pro's and con's of the different options...
