  1. I used around 44.5gr RS50 for my 155gr rounds and it was an accurate and safe load. Similar to N140 but takes a little more. Bulk density is 950g/l for RS50 compared with 910g/l for N140. Energy rating (heat of explosion) N140 is 3700 j/g compared with 3750 for RS50. They're not identical but very close to it.
  2. Last call for the rifles before I send them to my local RFD for a commission sale.... Sensible offers considered
  3. Monday morning bump. These rifles have got to go. Priced very keenly and open to very near offers. Tac A1 comes with a top notch mod, bipod and muzzle brake. Stock on 308 T3 is a £500 GRS sporter laminate, and it also comes with a mod and a thread protector. I'll throw in a set of decent Tier 1 rings if bought at the asking price.
  4. I have responded to you on this thread, good grief, you're hard work! Thankyou for your good wishes anyway, lets draw a line under what has clearly been a misunderstanding and move on now.
  5. I honestly didn't see your post. If I did, I'd have responded to it. Position is this: ALL primers are spoken for as I put above simply because the gent buying the 223 and someone from my shooting club contacted me and have agreed to take them all. Your post clearly showed your annoyance, so perhaps taking it to a PM instead of airing it publicly would have been more gentlemanly and I would have responded. 'Nuff said I think. I am sorting out for photos, the remaining unsold kit and will list as from Monday.
  6. First and only reduction in rifle outfit prices to see if there's interest here before leaving them with the RFD who'll be after way more for them!Tik Tac outfit reduced to £1350 including mod and bipodT3/GRS Sporter stock/SL5 mod outfit reduced to £850Can't go any lower than that. Sporter stock alone is £500 now.
  7. I have promised the primers to those who got in first requesting them hence "spoken for" simple as that. No point in posting narky messages just because they're gone my friend. I have replied to messages and If I've missed any it's only due to being so completely overwhelmed by the sheer number of PMs asking "have you got any primers?" As I stated earlier, ONCE I get breathing space, which won't be this week, I will get around to listing everything that is left to list so your message is not really helping.
  8. Hi Calumn I'm afraid all primers are now sold or spoken for.
  9. Update: 223 outfit including scope, mod, mounts and scope now all sold.
  10. Nightforce scope: I may have someone interested in taking the 223 and scope as a package but just in case that falls through, there's the scope details: Model: Nightforce NSX-22 NP1; 5.5-22 x56mm, SFP, NP-1 ret. Optics: Outstanding, not a blemish Mechanicals: Perfect barrel: one or two very minor paint nicks but no dings or scratches. Never been bashed dropped or mistreated Zero stop: No you just reset to where you started before you put it away once establishing zero. Tracking: Perfect Illuminated ret, very clear image. Lovely robust scope known world over for ruggedness, reliability and great optics. 30mm barrel. Scope covers included and packed in original box. Will post at buyers own risk to UK addresses only. Please note whilst bubble level is included, mounts are not included in sale. These will be kept with the 223. SOLD
  11. Update: The following items have now been spoken for and are sold subject to the usual. Some I hadn't even listed yet!!! If for any reason they become re-available I'll relist here Both drag bags sold; PMII sold; Lyman Gen6 sold Lyman case prep centre sold Pendulum and gong Hardex targets sold 1Kg tub of N555 sold
  12. 223: This was taken before I replaced the Leupold on it for the current Nightforce:
  13. A few images: 6.5 Tika Tac A1, T3, GRS laminate, a few of scopes and and one of drag bags No makers name on one but bought off a shooting supplier as a decent make, robust would ideally suit rifles from 20 to 26 Inch barrels. £30 plus postage for that one...NOW SOLD Newer darker coloured one is a New Zealand Ridgeline drag bag, I think the Ridgeline Sniper model in Olive green in perfect condition, like new and would suit 22 to say 28 inch barrelled rifles. £75 for that one (£135 new) plus P&P
  14. Thanks Nick Decided to split as surprisingly little interest in rifles, so they're going onto Guntrader via Cotswold Shooting Company (commission sales). They'll be up for more than I'm asking here though having just had them valued so be quick if interested in rifles as otherwise they go tomorrow. I'll get back to those who wanted the scopes and if still interested I think all of those will be gone quickly. If any are still available after today I'll post below after contacting interested parties. Drag bag photos and pricing etc will be up today and I'll start photographing reloading gear later today and put up some photos this evening.
  15. Thanks guys. Will get photos uploaded this week and hopefully can get back to everyone but everything unfortunately has to go including one of the larger cabinets.
  16. Guys, I'm being inundated with enquiries, and apologies but please read the first few posts where I mentioned I'd be listing the rest of the kit separately in due course with photos/prices. Please don't be offended if I don't answer any further emails asking for more details up front as otherwise I'll have to be repeating the same information to literally dozens of people. Be patient and the list will appear this week. Initially I am trying to get the rifles sold. I repeat: if no interest develops, I'll then split and sell separately. Hope you understand, thank you all for your interest. Full details of everything will be listed in due course which answer all your questions and photos will be provided.
  17. Loads of questions regarding scopes and brass and primers. . If ok with everyone I will list those seperately with prices etc when I can sort it out later this week. As for interest in scopes, I'd rather wait and see if I can sell the rifles as a complete package first before splitting anything. My apologies but rather than get back individually I'll deal with all questions here. If I have to split, fair prices for the scopes will be PMII £1900 (new current price is over £2600); DMR Elite: £450 (I paid over £850); Nightforce: £700 firm (moa NP-1 illuminated). Original boxes for all scopes. Brass is a mix of Lapua/PPU. Some new included. 100's of 308 and about 150 Lapua 6.5. Primers are a mix of CCI 200/400/450 and Murom KVB223 and KVB223M. Powders include N555 (unopened). Opened: N140, N133, RS62, RS50 I won't be selling any of the primers, powders or reloading kit or brass until the rifles are sold though. If the rifles don't go, I'll use up until my next renewal next year. If it helps, I'll sell the rifles separately for anyone who wants just the rifles with mods. Same goes for drag bags etc. Once rifle sell, those will become available.
  18. Due to a spinal injury I have reluctantly decided to sell my rifles and associated kit so will shortly be posting photos for the following: Tikka TAC A1 - special order 24 inch barrel in 6.5CM, under 1000 rounds from new and in perfect condition.

I will have many other items up for grabs including a complete reloading set up, Gen 6 loader, Lyman case prep centre, lee/redding/RCBS dies, Wilson micrometer manual lathe type case trimmer, Lee anniversary press and loads of brass. May list seperately wth prices or complete set up for £500 for the whole lot Please PM me for details. Also available are several drag bags and gun slips, shooting mat, steel targets, bullets, primers, powders (some unopened) plus Sinclair F Type adjustable bipod. I'll post those separately with prices later on FTF preferred but willing to rfd transfer at buyers cost and risk with usual transfer rules strictly enforced which means I'lll need to sign the sale on your cert before transferring via RFD. Location Glos
  19. My GP has refused to comply, citing "conscientious objection" and has reminded me that all others within the practice, after it was voted on, have been instructed to refuse compliance. Having literally just got off the telephone to my FEO, he explained that there is a simple one page proforma upon which a GP must list any conditions which could prohibit an applicant from holding firearms, so no obligation to provide any opinion, just to list the scheduled conditions which have been known about for years. They have 28 days by law to supply that signed letter, or to supply access to patients record to one of two accepted third parties (Medicert or Safe Cert) . I'm expecting my surgery to play hardball but am prepared to call in daily if that's what it takes and make a nuisance of myself until they comply. The real fly in the ointment though comes post-Plymouth. The H/O have requested that this list of conditions must be looked at for years back, not just the 10 years that medical records are legally required to be kept for. The FEO confirms this is causing them a lot of headaches and it's not a case of inefficiency on their part, it's a case of how to best comply with H/O guidelines which ignore the record period restriction. There isn't so far any resolution in sight to this save for doing all they can, so fall back on F2F renewal interviews to check with the applicant on previous conditions which should have been declared. A failure to declare these which is later discovered could result in prosecution and removal of firearms.
  20. Good result Chaz. I intend putting in for mine 6 months early and even then I won't be holding my breath. I moved house in June, sent the requisite notification and after nothing from licencing, chased it up a moth or so later to be told "don't hold your breath" and that it could be many months before they get around to amending my cert. It's highly likely they won't get around to it before my renewal is due and things are not getting any better across the country with most authorities. There's a ridiculous shortage of staff and it seems since covid restrictions ended, a lot still work from home. There seems to be insufficient resource allocated. Not good for all parties concerned.
  21. Crikey! How did you manage that?. Personally I'd replace it. Bending it back could work harden it. It can be done but it's a critical part of the firing assembly and must be dead concentric to the boltface hole. Replacements are a bit spendy at £146 for a spare from Brownells but you could try GMK as they should be able to get one direct for you. Alternatively perhaps a gunsmith on here can sort that one with a bit of heat treatment and check concentricity for you?
  22. As above. I loaded my 77 TMKs to 2.29" using RS50 and at 100 yds they shoot into bug holes. Sako brass, Muron KVB 223 M primers. I have never found TMK needed loading close to lands. My loads all use quite a jump(77 thou) (custom barrel chambered for heavies). I keep the same seating for all loads and once I find the best load, I move back in 3 or 4 thou steps until I see the group tighten or open and seat accordingly. If you can provide your barrel details (length) and your powder details together with your load and the tested MV and case capacities I will see if I can run a GRT model for you to estimates best OBT. I have been using this, calibrated to measured MVs to successfully load dev in short order. It usually gets me very close indeed. a 1/8 twist should be fine for these . My own data: TMK77's/sako brass/23.8gr RS50/2737fps/ES11/0.38"@100m - from last outing with them. I have shot better using a lower node of 23gr for 2641fps and a 0.33" group (1/3moa) based on 5 shots. In botyh cases, COL was 2.29"/58.17mm
  23. I found the venerable 190 smk was superb (non comp use) at 1000 yds in a 1/11 twist 24 inch barrel and bettered my success with the 175gr version, despite the lowly 2540 fps MV!
