  1. Stunner, look forward to hearing how it shoots 👍🏻
  2. Do Area 419 specifically say why Garmin have taken this decision?
  3. Dellboy, I appreciate the offer, but I’m not sure how feasible it would be and wouldn’t want to inconvenience you. The supplier details are here https://www.strobl.cz/en/contacts and the actual item is this one https://www.strobl.cz/en/22lr-shell-holder-ch4d_p765
  4. I’d like to keep the ballistics as close as possible to a normal target round, so prefer the idea of redistributing the lead rather than removing it. This will presumably affect the bullets B.C. but I suspect not to a great extent, however the ability to determine the shape/size of the cavity will provide another avenue to try and tune it.
  5. Yes, but I’d prefer it to operate from a shellholder a bit like the Waltz style die. There was an article on here a while ago which caught my eye, and I’ve never got round to pursuing it. If it was commercially available, I’d probably just buy one, but it disappeared without trace, so after being unable to secure decent quantities of hollowpoints I decided to have a crack at making one.
  6. Yes, I’m in the process of trying to make a tool similar the Paco Acu’rzr for making hollowpoints from standard target ammunition and need the shellholder for the press ram.
  7. Anyone? I did find a supplier in Czechoslovakia but they won’t send as we are no longer part of the EU 🤷‍♂️ I was quoted £28 delivery for a £12 shellholder from the US plus whatever charges the U.K. imposes when it lands. If all else fails, I’ll have to try and make something, but it’s far from my preferred option.
  8. Used the 223 for over 30 years, it’s never let me down. Negligible recoil, accurate at normal ranges, plenty of knockdown power for foxes, components and ammunition readily available, good barrel life, available in huge number of different rifles and configurations. What’s not to like 👍🏻
  9. Not Federal GM, but Henry Kranks were advertising Geco small rifle primers.
  10. Bit of a strange one but can anyone direct me to a U.K. based supplier for a .22LR shellholder? Thanks.
  11. Still the same, won’t let me use the search option either.
  12. Hi, Dont know why, but for the last few days, when I log in as normal and select unread messages, I get the error shown below. Any help would be appreciated, I can see a similar type issue in the posts from years ago, but that was on the old forum software, and I can’t see equivalent options.
  13. Where were they? I did find one stall advertising Magtech primers at £70 a 1000, but he had no rifle primers left, granted it was 10am on the first day.
