    The JRE podcasts are full of great anecdotes like that. Here's another wolf one, by Donny Vincent. This fella is a bit of a legend to me.

    Sounds f***ing BRILLIANT! Sorry.... "liiiike liderily frikin" brilliant. I'd love to get into that.

    That looks brilliant. I envy the man who hunted him...

    Good stuff! I don't mind sitting down and doing a batch but it really is just a means to and end for me. these '06 cases take some powder and that's reflected in the price of factory, £38 a box! Coupled with, what I consider, poor groupings, it's a no brainer. With reloading I can shoot for about 70p a bang (not including brass costs) compared with nearly £2 for factory.

    FYI it's 25-06rem with Nosler 85gr ballistic tips seated at 0.02" off lands. I could f**k about half a grain either side of 58 but if 58 prints under an inch (potentially 0.5") at 200yrds and has less than 5" drop at 300 then I no longer care.

    I've had this reloading gear for maybe two years now. Finally run my factory stuff down and I'm getting shouted at to kill some foxes so here's my first reloads. I had a few road bumps along the way. My decapping/sizing die is too tight to get the casing neck in, so had to blag my mates and my first batch of reloads I f****d up on the seating depth. Conditions weren't ideal (windy) so I got some horizontal strings and poi was off zero but I reckon the half inch vertical spread of the 58gr N160 are the money! I'll want to see what they are doing at 300yrds and of course group th

    I dunno mate but it's not country to take lightly, especially the boggy shit between the ranges. I'd implore any outdoorsman to go and see that valley though, it's beautiful. f***ing shame it's not mine and full of stags or chamois!

    That reminded me of this. Jack O’Connor once wrote: “Sheep Hunters are Romantics, who love high places and solitude. To them the wild ram embodies the mystery and magic of the mountains, the rocky canyons, the snowy peaks, the fragrant alpine meadows, the gray slide rock, the icy dancing rolls fed by snowbank and glacier, the sweet clean air of the high places, and the sense of being alone on the top of the world with the eagles, the marmots, and the wild sheep themselves.” Not sheep country but still, Glen Coe, Scotland. A Cathedral of nature.

    Of course, totally agree. I just meant that it's a silly game to throw unfounded accusations around because once a man is tarred with a bad reputation he has no reason to not do the things he was falsely accused of. For us it was just farm cats that got out of hand. Litters in barns and stables etc.

    These 'best calibre' threads always get weird!

    It's a good job you're a decent sort and not the type who once tarred with shit thinks 'why not live up to it'. Talking about cats I remember one year we had a f***ing explosion of them. Christ I shot some head of feral cats that year and not really had one since. They were everywhere!

    Funny enough I was thinking of taking my cocker next time I'm in the water snorkelling/diving/spear fishing. I want to get a gopro and f**k about with that and thought some underwater footage on a nice sunny day of the dog swimming and jumping in etc would be fun.

    Lovely litter, Jigsaw. I look forward to seeing them mature into little dingoes!

    Rewilding eh.......... Are you taking requests for game species? I have a bucket list!

    I was like a kid here. I want to camp it next time...

    Call me a skeptic but am I to believe that McNab here made a chest shot and then a head shot at 2400m just like that? I suspect there are parts of that story being left out...

    I'm just doing what I always do and 'thinking' stuff to pieces. I get ya and I agree at that, I suppose, 'layman's' level of the word. Fighting (in the abstract sense of the word, might be combat, might be cancer) to win goes without saying I think. So by 'endure' I mean to see through whatever is inflicted in the accomplishment of that win. So in that respect, the question I have regarding hardness is, "is a man who goes through the same blows, but isn't as effected by them because nature made him less sensitive, any less hard than the man who overcomes his natural sensitivity to t

    Cheers for the advice everyone. I had a bit of a road trip at the weekend to watersports places and tried on a bunch. Only one I found to fit pretty well was the O'Neill Hyperfreak 4/3. Bit more money than I wanted to spend but fit is critical to me. All being well once I get my shit together I'll hopefully post some picture heavy stuff in the medium term.

    I wonder if I don't understand the definition of 'hard' or if you see it as synonymous with 'courage'. To me, 'hardness' is the ability to endure. There are obviously many dimensions to that, some good examples you have already given. But is a man who can endure hardship with ease, because nature privileged him with being built for it, less 'hard' than a man who suffered but still endured? To me he's just as hard. However I think we would both agree that courage can only be displayed in the presence of fear. A man who has been privileged by nature to feel little fear, or even feel c

    Indeed he does! Personally I'm not a fan of people like him who I would term 'extremists'. There's more to life than insatiable fortitude imo. It's like fortitude is his goal, not a tool he uses to get to a goal. He just wants to punish himself for no other reason than to test his grit! I can't get my head around that. LOL I find his 'story' most impressive. How he went from being a piece of shit to being one of the grittyist c**ts I've ever heard of. That mental change.

    Ever tried one 'dirty', cooked direct on the fire?
