Ballistol

Nothing spectacular, but still shoots well at 2750 fps.

Also using N140 with 108 ELD-M, very pleased with the results.

That’s a good looking looking rifle 👍🏻

Absolutely superb, well shot sir.

Shot 10 groups, 4 were under an inch, worst one was 1.5”. Was devastated, when one shot missed the mark in this group 🤣🤣🤣

It’s a Anschutz 1710 D HB, in an MDT chassis, with a Bushnell ET6245FG. Was shot outdoors from the bench, off a Harris bipod and a rear bag, using Lapua Centre-X.

Shot this one at 100y last week, Anschutz 1710.

Arrived today, exactly as described. Thanks again Steve.

I’ll take it, please PM payment details.

Anneal first, and then size 👍

It was indeed done by Baldie. I wasn’t sure it could be done at all, but as always Dave made short work of the job 👍🏻

Nice concept., would like to see it make it to the U.K. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/10/03/9mm-bolt-action-curtis-tactical/

Earlier this year, I asked about a weathermeter, and was directed on here towards this company, where I purchased one https://geoballistics.com Anyway, I’ve just recieved an email from them saying that there is currently 25% off weathermeters if you use the code at checkout WFBF2020

I think an important aspect of the Vortex warranty is being missed, and I think it has started to affect how other companies have deployed their own warranty policies. It covers damage however it has happened, some other scope manufacturers are now copying this, but there’s still a lot only cover manufacturing defects. I have certainly broken a scope while hunting and it was not covered by warranty. It doesn’t matter wether you are the original or the tenth owner, you will be covered. I’ve certainly been asked for registration information and even a receipt of purchase from other manufacturers when seeking warranty work. It is a true lifetime warranty (as long as the company keeps going) other companies have different terms of cover. Products that utilise electronics i.e. rangefinders etc. are also covered just the same, other companies offer a very short warranty on their electronics, and a longer conventional warranty covering just the optics. Perhaps somebody suitably motivated could draw up a table showing all of the relevant aspects of warranty coverage and reference this by manufacturer, I’m sure it would be most interesting reading.

I’ve got three Vortex scopes now and one spotting scope. My first one was bought cheap from Fleabay. I had tracking problems with it, contacted Vortex who told me to send it to CSW. I duly did this and just over two weeks later, I recieved a new scope (upgraded generation) no questions asked. I also lost the end caps from the spotting scope, again I contacted Vortex, a week later spare caps arrived FOC. The price point of Vortex is extremely attractive as far as I’m concerned, and I think they have got it about right in terms of price versus performance. Some people will always want the very best optical performance, and will be happy to pay the extra for that privilege, and there’s nothing wrong with that. There is no doubt that all of my Vortex scopes are not at the very top end of performance as far as glass is concerned. I have owned, and still do own, scopes from most of the major players, but I do value the “No quibble” warranty that Vortex offer based on personal experience. Warranty is a bit like insurance, you only know how good it is when you need it. With Vortex, I know that if it breaks, or even if I break it, it will be repaired or replaced FOC and for that, I am prepared to sacrifice some optical quality.

Arrived today, absolutely as described. thanks again Daniel.

Yes please, can you PM payment details.

Can I ask please, colour and fastenings?

Thanks for sharing the information, much appreciated.

Can I ask where you get your supplies of lead wire from?

A lockdown project I took on was to get this Corbin Hydraulic swager up and running that was a legacy from a friend. After a lot of work, it is now operational, and I even got a trolley stand made so I can move it around the garage. Having got it all sorted, I don’t know what I’m going to do with it though! 🤣 I’ve now swaged bullets from all of the die sets, including a nifty set that allow you to make .224 bullets using a jacket swaged from a fired .22LR case. Here is a picture of some .454 bullets swaged in round nose and semi wadcutter, one with a hollow base. If you contact Dave Corbin directly, he will tell you exactly what is/isn’t possible in terms of swaging, and the best way to go about it. He really is a nice bloke and I wouldn’t have been able to get the swager running without his help.
