The moderator has unlocked this again Mr Duston. Could you just confirm if you consider the 400 and 450 primers to be sold to me? No problem if you’ve sold to someone else, just need to know in case you’re waiting for me to pick them up

I’m confused Mr Duston….. does that mean the 400’s and 450’s are mine? My intent was to collect…

Thinking about it…. I’ll have the 400’s too if still available

I’ll have the CCI 450’s if you still have them?

For sale is my Marlin .44 lever action rifle. It’s a Remington made rifle but is a nice one. 20” round barrel and has an XS Sights picatinny rail fitted by the previous owner, together with a whitetail classic scope. The rifle has been well cared for by the original owner and subsequently, me. I’m selling to fund a scope upgrade on my target rifle and through lack of use, it’s spent most of the last twelve months sitting in the cabinet. Included will be about 200 twice fired cases, a mix of Starline and Winchester, about 250 cast lead 240 grain bullets, a set of Lee dies and a virtually full tub of green dot powder that I’ve found works well now that Unique is like rocking horse poo. £750 all in.

Thanks a lot Gents.

Toying with the idea of upgrading my hearing protection, researching in ear options throws up a bewildering range of products and costs, just wondering, from those who use in ear devices, what your experiences might be and which products might be recommended.

I’d like to volunteer to be Corporal Jones….

These days component availability is the decider. I had a wonderful load using Lapua SR brass, Norma 204 powder, CCI 450 primers and 147 eld Hornady’s. Lack of local choices for primers and powder has driven me to RS70, the same bullets but federal match primers. Seems perhaps a tad better in terms of grouping and although the primers are a little flattened, no other signs of pressure issues. Like pops, loaded to suit chamber/barrel so magazine feeding is not an option.

Yes, afraid so. Excellent mount, highly recommended.

Only fired 20 rounds so far to roughly sight in the scope and hear it go bang 😀 Not yet worked up a load but used some I had left over from my old rifle. Took me 2 or 3 to get zeroed then all the rest went in virtually the same hole at 100 yards. Roughly 0.3 moa. Seriously impressed thus far……

He had a couple on display when I popped in the other day, I was sorely tempted myself but opted for a Daniel Defense Delta 5 Pro in the end.

Final bump up the list before I’m forced to part exchange it.

Back up for sale, a lovely rifle, drop me a line if interested.
