It's as much about the ergonomics, personally I couldn't get on with the old AW thumbhole stock it was too small and my trigger finger didnt fall properly, the pistol grip on the AT is far better.

I keep thinking about resurrecting my license. I passed my city and guilds in June 1986 at the age of 13 and had to wait until September for my birthday to have my license issued. At the time I was one of the youngest in the country to pass it and I took my Dads old call sign G1GBW as he'd done the morse and been issued G0BXU. He still operates I haven't touched radio since 89 when I discovered other hobbies.

Different batches of the same make of 22 will perform very differently, hence why Eley and other manufacturers offer batch testing. That said when I was shooting prone small-bore I always went with RWS R50 as I found it consistent. Another way to vary results is to play with bedding bolt torques.
Bench rest shooters seem to use barrel tuners to tweek even further.

I emailed RCBS about sourcing spare springs for my trimpro, never had a reply buy two weeks later a packet turned up in the post from the USA with the bits in, no charges.
Definitely worth emailing...

I used to shoot prone smallbore to a reasonable level and went batch testing at Eley. Back then you could only test Tenex. It was done in a 50m tunnel with the action clamped in a dummy stock in a vice to minimise any errors.
The difference from batch to batch was staggering. I never did find a really good batch and generally use RWS R50 which consistently suited my Anschutz 2013.
The point being what works one day might not the next depending on when the ammo was made.

Banus, good point it was more curiosity, I don't recognise the style of kernels.
All the powders I use are stick, looking at helping someone load hunting rounds for their 30-06.

Hi all
Can anyone shed light on what powder this is likely to be. Pulled from factory Remington Core lokt 180gn 30-06.. the powder weight was 51.9gn.
I don't recognise the shape of kernels..
Cheers
Alan
