No negative comments re brakes at the recent Rogiet shoot. Shooting is a loud pastime but if we can seperate bare guns & mod users from brakes then its basic courtesy.

Worth a go Roy...cheers!

Anyone already using or can recommend a replacement? Mine started melting!

Great...I will give my 338 LM a long overdue outing!

Jim Any advance on HME RCO for Warminster? MDRC may have relevant quals ....only just joined so not sure.

Adam...DEFO talk to Chris Stevenson!

I have gone the same route as Ralph....all good so far! 👍

Ralph Good to know. I am just awaiting a reply from Club sec.

I am looking to join Monmouth for the same reasons

Superb bullet in my 260 to way past 1000 yards

Just placed an order direct...cheers guys

Amazon only seem to do the flexi cable version.

Cheers Jeffo

Anyone know of a UK supplier?

Adam I am very interexted to get onto those ranges again.....can you send me details of your arrangements please?

Ralph Agree all you say.... no way John was a scammer. I attended many ODRC shoots firstly as a member then as a reciprocal arrangement via FCSA. FCSA are willing to book Warminster etc but lack local RCOs. With the loss of Salisbury Plain I was very much hoping to shoot ar IR2 , Rogiet Moor , Sennybridge etc with ODRC. If there are RCOs within former ODRC ranks then it would seem sensible to talk with FCSA (Chris Stevenson) about combining efforts in the South, Wales and Midlands. FCSA is likely to become very North-centric so this could be a very good fit for all concerned. I don't know details about ODRC falling foul of the MOD nor do I want to rake over the politics and personalities in the fight but clearly any joint effort with FCSA would need to exclude anyone involveddirectly in the fracas. Your thougnts and perhaps any trustworthy ODRC contacts that might be interested?

Still waiting but thank you for your input.👍

Still drying out... but a great match !

What GT3 said! There is a V4 in the wings but the V3 is amazing.

The cost of kit is considerable but my advice before buying anything would be to get a knowledgeable handloader to show you how, what are the safe latitudes incertain critical measurements, what to do if these are not what you expected and what tools you need to startup. Many will advise internet research but.....you won't know what questions to ask....... ask someone to SHOW you.

The twist rate will not be a factor in your load tests...it is fast enough to STABILISE the 77g bullets but won't cause an increase in pressure from a given load. Just use the load data from Vhitavouri with N140 and you will be fine.

I would love it but I am WAY South in Gloucestershire !

Kalahari.... re your comment about 'a standard deer rifle' and the inference that it will not cope with long range. The below is probably only outlining what you already know but here goes....😁 I think the only constraint there is in the optics as eg any 6mm or 6.5mm will do 1000 yards no problem with the right bullet. If you have enough scope elevation or are willing to buy a modestly priced sloped rail you are surely good to go.

POPS ....the 'They' that I refer to is anyone posting something aimed at the complete novice that does not include safety and performance lattitudes in what otherwise might be completely sound advice. Typically you get the 'How To' posted but not much on what the novice is supposed to do when the results are not exactly what was expected. I reference or example particularly these sort of concerns that a complete novice should really get first hand from a knowledgeable demonstrator ....at least in my view. I overdid shoulder bump but is it still safe to fire and how can I improve my sizing technique? I trimmed my brass too much can I still use it? My neck tension is not what I expected...why? I DO TOTALLY agree with you that it's up to the individual to do as much as he can to get it right but YouTube stuff , in many cases, glosses over problems which the novice WILL encounter.
