  1. Hi Aris. Fwiw, Brownells UK are showing plenty ( 10 ) of 500 count boxes of 175 matchking in stock in the US. MATCHKING BULLETS SIERRA BULLETS, INC. 30 CALIBER (0.308") 175GR HOLLOW POINT BOAT TAIL 500/BOX - Brownells UK 7-10 days delivery. Apologies if you are already aware of these.
  2. Hi OSOK. Thanks for replying. If the 6.5x284 can be driven to the velocities advertised for the 6.5 rpm, then i presume the increased capacity of the weatherby case will drive the 140s correspondingly faster? Does that make sense? Just one of those things that lockdown gets you thinking about. The weatherby case just seemed a better use of the long action. Nick.
  3. Hi. Has anyone got any opinions on the new 6.5 Weatherby RPM? It appears to be a 6.5x284 case that has been lengthened by 10mm. This gives 'greater case capacity and fits properly in a 30-06 action'. Drives 140 grain bullets at 3050fps allegedly. Weatherby brass is made by Norma. I was just wondering if it was a sensible alternative to the 6.5x284. Thanks.

    Jeep's

    Hi I like my jeep very much. The Mercedes engine has plenty of torque and pulls like a train. The jeep is very comfortable and ideal for long journeys to Scotland. Very good off road too. Mine has the quadra trac system. I thought it had quadra drive with the limited slip diffs but I goofed! European Grand Cherokees were made in Austria by Magna Steyr. When the lottery numbers come up I will have a new Wrangler Gladiator and a Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. 700bhp should be good for a giggle.

    Hi I run a Grand Cherokee WH (WK in America). The one with the 3.0CRD Mercedes engine and transmission.
  6. Hi What are the effects, if any, of the revised ITAR on the UK shooter and handloader? http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2020/01/good-news-for-gunsmiths-changes-to-itar-regulations/ Sorry if this has been covered already but could not see anything. Nick.
  7. Could not agree more. I am a leftie and cannot imagine wanting to shoot a right handed gun. I have 4 bolt guns,1 Tikka, 2 Rem and a Borden. Nick
