Sorry its a 34mm tube and the matching mounts included

Hi 36mm, there is a set of Zeiss 36mm rings included in the sale.

I have for sale the above Zeiss scope. It is as new and unmarked. It is the 4.8 - 35 X 60 ASV model complete with all the ballistic rings, included in the price is a "Catstail" zoom ring adjuster and a genuine Zeiss objective lens cover, also included are the Zeiss mounts as seen in the pictures. I would like £1800 + postage. Just reduced, this is a bargain.

Eh? I was always told not to mix powders, even from the same batch!

Thanks for all the replies, managed to get 2 part tubs from other members on here, and I hear that some supply is soon to be coming through, thanks for the heads up No i Deer

Hi kwakkerjack Thats a kind offer thanks. Its a Lowther match grade barrel and it measures 560mm or 22" from the closed bolt face to the muzzle The twist rate is 1 - 10 Advice on here & other places is Vit N135 seems to be the go to powder as i cant get RS52 any more. Regards Roger

I have been using RS52 for a while now but I am told that none will be available this year. I am down to my last few grams and was wondering if anyone has moved to an alternative powder I like the RS52, it gives good velocity with no excessive pressure. I use a .308 with Barnes TTSX 130 grain bullets with an average velocity of 3030 FPS Any suggestions for an alternative would be appreciated.

I developed a load that was printing ok. Problem now is out of 10 loaded rounds 4 misfired, remington 9 1\2 magnum large rifle primers, thats 40% Anyone else having issues with Remington primers. Just called a gun shop to enquire about alternatives, he has some Federal, I asked him about Remington primer problems and his comment was "bin them" This is a picture of the misfired rounds, obviously there is nothing wrong with the firing pin and they were seated as deep as they would go. Never had a misfire with S&B primers in 4 years!

Hi I have been forced to switch from S&B large rifle primers to Remington 9 1\2 Magnum Primers due to supply problems. The round is .308. My original load was 47 grains of RS52 with S & B large rifle primers which gave me good accuracy results with a Barnes 130 grain TTSX. Now I have to use Remington 9 1\2 Large Rifle Primers. My question please, is there any advice on powder charge weight using the same powder, same (Hornady) cases, I am thinking about safety. Regards

Sorted, the problem was that the case neck didnt have enough grip on the bullet and when I extracted it it was pulling the bullet out of the case!!

The problem is that the live round CBTO measurement is visibly more than -113 thou shorter than the dummy round which is the CBTO for this bullet in my chamber, my loaded rounds are perfectly zeroed, I dont need to alter anything.

Hi all Got a mental block here. The round on the right is a modified case used for measuring the distance to the lands. The round on the left is my loaded round ready to go. Query: the right hand round measures CBTO 2.290, the left hand live round measures 2.177. The difference in CBTO measurement is -113 thou. In the picture its plain to see that the visible difference in the CBTO measurement is far greater than 113 thou. I am being a thicko here, what am I missing?

Thanks all for taking the time to reply There was no wind as I test in a narrow gulley in a wood. The ES was 19fps My regular 155 grn ELD,m groups at .40" Barrel twist is 1-10" by the way I will go up to a 75thou jump, if thats no good I will give up on the Barnes, I have almost used a box full already, at £50.00 its no joke!

Hi Some thoughts from the gurus on here please. I am trying to develop a recipe for a .308 using Barnes 130 grain TTSX The attached picture shows results using 46.00, 46.50, & 47.00 grains of RS52 I have a 50 thou jump as recommended by Barnes The barrel is a Lowther Walher hand lapped Match grade at 21& a 1/4" long The cases are freshly annealed, sized with a redding bushing die and have a light crimp. I can not work out whether to try seating deeper, I dont get why they all print left of bull when my regular load hits dead centre I have also tried with a 10 thou jump and that prints to the same point. Velocities are all around 2900 to 3000 fps. Any comments welcomed

Cheers, Bushing Die is all new to me!
