  1. I bought these a year ago and have used them throughout the season. https://www.3m.co.uk/3M/en_GB/p/dc/v100765195/ They attenuate noise very well and the microphones are better than the ones on my sporttac. They do suffer in strong wind similarly to other amplified headsets. I use them also when firing my braked rifles as I find that getting a good cheekweld can create a tiny gap with cupped ear defenders. They perform really well. I'm sure there are better options, these are 3M/Peltor's entry level and come in around £200.
  2. On balance looking at barrel length and bullet weight I have purchased a couple of kg of RS52. Does anyone have experience of this powder bullet combination?
  3. Thank you for the note regarding case capacity. I jumped on n550 as the temperature sensitivity was so low. I have also CFE223 which looks quick on paper with a very narrow band between min max loads but does suffer with temperature. It does well with magnum primers as a ball powder. I'll look at n140 as an alternative.
  4. Dear All, I am looking to put a load together for a TacA1 in 308win. Components so far are: Laupa Brass Vit N550 Laupa Scenar-L 155gr I have a limited number (<2000) CCI 200 which I use for 260rem and 22-250. I have circa 4k CCI250 which I use for 300WSM. Given the lack of availability of CCI primers, can I use the 250s or would it be better, performance wise, to use the 200s. This load will be used for (relatively) competitive shooting. Thanks in advance, James
  5. I'm using 44gn of RS60 with a 118gr Peregrine. It is not a warm load but gives me an ave of 2921fps with an ES of 15 and SD of 6.
  6. Unanimous then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
  7. Good Afternoon, I am looking for options for a .308 straight pull and where to start. Initial searches show options with a LMT or Southern Gun Co. Speedmaster. Are the other places/smiths who you would recommend consulting to build an AR10 based rifle? I would also like some advice on barrel length. To be used predominantly for target work to 500yds with occasional woodland deer management. Many thanks, J
  8. LH Rem700 VS in a HS Precision stock. 20in fluted heavy barrel. Well used but still shoots. Taken 100s of deer. £350
  9. Thanks for the information thus far. Is the glass equal? I don't know anyone who has both for a side by side comparison. They both seems to weight the same i.e. Heavy.
  10. Looking for opinions on the Burris XTR II 5-25 50 moa illuminated compared with a Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x56 moar T. I have an old nxs 5.5-22x56 illum and love it. The question is what do I get for an extra £1k over the Burris?
  11. I'm looking for an aftermarket stock from a Sako M591 in LH. Predominantly for deer but also steel at range. Chambered in. 260rem. Needs to be adjustable preferably for lop and recoil pad height but certainly for comb height. If PSE made a stock for the action It'd be my first choice but alsa, they don't. That gives you an idea of what I'm looking for. McMillan is an option and possibly SSS though I've read very mixed reviews. Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.
