Thanks for that John.
So does the inner sleeve tighten on the 1/2”x28 thread against the shoulder of the barrel, and the outer adjust along the external thread on the sleeve?
Also, did you order direct from Erik, or use a U.K. distributor?Thanks

Nice shooting John, my 1710 prefers Centre-X above all other ammo out to 100y.
Could you possibly post a picture of the fitted tuner as I’m curious how it is arranged relative to the threaded muzzle. -
Thanks Charlts,
They both look the dogs danglies, and I’m glad to hear that they are performing well.
It’s always nice to see something a bit out of the ordinary, and you’ve certainly given me food for thought. -
Any chance of a few pictures of the Deuce, and your opinions on it to date?
I must admit to finding the adjustable headspace feature more than interesting, and it’s not particularly well known in the U.K. -

Do Area 419 specifically say why Garmin have taken this decision?

Dellboy,
I appreciate the offer, but I’m not sure how feasible it would be and wouldn’t want to inconvenience you.
The supplier details are here https://www.strobl.cz/en/contacts and the actual item is this one https://www.strobl.cz/en/22lr-shell-holder-ch4d_p765 -

To drill the size of the cavity that the Paco tools produce would significantly reduce the weight of the bullet - would that be a + or - point?
I’d like to keep the ballistics as close as possible to a normal target round, so prefer the idea of redistributing the lead rather than removing it. This will presumably affect the bullets B.C. but I suspect not to a great extent, however the ability to determine the shape/size of the cavity will provide another avenue to try and tune it.

Got you - I thought the Paco tool didn't use a shell holder - with the head of the cartridge just resting on a flat surface, then pushed out after forming the bullet, a bit like a Wilson hand die.
Yes, but I’d prefer it to operate from a shellholder a bit like the Waltz style die.
There was an article on here a while ago which caught my eye, and I’ve never got round to pursuing it. If it was commercially available, I’d probably just buy one, but it disappeared without trace, so after being unable to secure decent quantities of hollowpoints I decided to have a crack at making one.

Ahhh - Am I barking up the wrong tree? Did you mean a .22lr shellholder to fit a press for reloading .22lr?
Yes, I’m in the process of trying to make a tool similar the Paco Acu’rzr for making hollowpoints from standard target ammunition and need the shellholder for the press ram.

Anyone?
I did find a supplier in Czechoslovakia but they won’t send as we are no longer part of the EU 🤷♂️I was quoted £28 delivery for a £12 shellholder from the US plus whatever charges the U.K. imposes when it lands.
If all else fails, I’ll have to try and make something, but it’s far from my preferred option.

Used the 223 for over 30 years, it’s never let me down.
Negligible recoil, accurate at normal ranges, plenty of knockdown power for foxes, components and ammunition readily available, good barrel life, available in huge number of different rifles and configurations.
What’s not to like 👍🏻 -
Not Federal GM, but Henry Kranks were advertising Geco small rifle primers.
-
Bit of a strange one but can anyone direct me to a U.K. based supplier for a .22LR shellholder?
Thanks. -
All working now, thanks 👍🏻
-
Still the same, won’t let me use the search option either.

Try BH Firearms think they’re Durham way info@bhfirearms.co.uk
They do indeed have a decent selection of primers, form an orderly queue please.

To coin a phrase, “It’s grim up North”.
Rifle primers of any description are like hens teeth, last I saw were some CCI BR for almost £200 a thousand. I’ve shared almost all of my stash with pals and it’s not looking good for the future.
A small consolation is that pistol primers are available though. -
I also like the look of this one, and had a look through one a couple of weeks ago, but a few things make me hesitate.
1) There are no rotational indicator marks.
2) It states it will parallax down to 25y, but I occasionally shoot 20m and I also assume it would be even worse at the highest magnification.
3) A 10 year warranty. -
“Always helpful to get a users opinion, sometimes just buying a name isn't the best option.However, I am a fan of Maxpedition kit. If you have three, all the same or different, also which ones do you use? “
I use two Maxpedition MPB, one green and one FDE both with different load outs for both indoor and outdoor ranges where I need different kit. I find it easier to just grab the right bag according to where I’m going rather than load and unload a single bag every time I go.
Similarly, I use a Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack when hunting again pre loaded with the specific equipment I’m likely to need.

Hi is there a reasonably priced source for these in the U.K.?
They seem to retail in the US for $39 but the only ones I can find over here are £95.
