Sporting Shooter

Cross Country Bulls • Jeff Borg tells of the lure of the tropics and big NT bulls, which gave these hunters a trip to remember.

LETTER OF THE MONTH

Growing Further Commitment • Here, we explore continuing the momentum of interest in all hunters.

Bergara’s New-Generation B-14R Rimfire Rifle • Bergara has introduced a welldesigned and executed .22LR entry into the multi-purpose target shooter market. The B14R also ably mimics centrefire action dynamics.

ENDURO - FULL BOAR - WORKING DOG COMPETITION

Longest Fox Yet • Matt Bolte is quite pleased with this cracker fox, shot at a “fur piece”.

HOW TO ENTER

The Mountain Boar • Josh Barnett was after fallow, but a massive opportunity boar fortuitously came his way.

A Night Under The Light • Michael Cleary and a few mates exploited a free night time window to belt some pests for a grazier.

SHOOTER’S SHOWCASE • WHAT’S NEW IN THE MARKET

Fallow Fix • Zac Mckenzie was itching to get out to get some meat and a trophy fallow. Nice story.

Tony Kamphorst • Steeped in a family hunting tradition, Tony’s hunts and stories are high adventure.

Choosing The Right Scope & Mount • It is usual to select the right scope for your type of hunting after you’ve chosen the rifle.

Chamois In The Slips • Ken Jones’ Kiwi turn of phrase is refreshing – just like this story about chamois tourism with his wife.

WEATHERBY / FIOCCHI PHOTO COMPETITION

YOUR CHANCE TO WIN A WEATHERBY RIFLE IN EVERY ISSUE OF SPORTING SHOOTER IN 2021 • *AVAILABLE CHAMBERINGS TO WINNERS INCLUDE 223REM, 22-250REM, 243WIN, 270WIN, 308WIN, 30-06SPRG, 300WIN.MAG. SUBJECT TO AVAILABILITY.

Powders – Horses For Courses • It is important to select the optimum powder for one’s handloads. While loading the wrong charge can be disastrous, it will more likely result in erratic ballistic performance. How does the handloader choose the right powder for a cartridge other than by referring to his manual. He can find powder giving highest muzzle velocity, dispensing a safe charge weight of what appears to be the best choice.
