I just ran this through Quickload, and it comes up with "seating depth error" and "-3.68mm", so maybe the 75 grain vmax won't do it?
What's your cartridge overall length and H2O capacity?

I imagine it would get pretty wet if you baled out into the sea wearing it, nevertheless, it was a life saver for some airmen............it's the actual wetting that prevents the water from penetrating.
The cotton fibres expand causing any gaps between them to close tightly.
Obviously, you wouldn't wear it in contact with your skin.....a merino layer(s) underneath would be desirable in cold windy conditions, especially if you're climbing or hiking.

Here's a UK maker of Ventile jackets https://hilltrek.co.uk/clothing/jackets/talorc-dv-jacket/
https://hilltrek.co.uk/clothing/jackets/glencoe-organic-dv-jacket/
It's an interesting stuff, apparently developed for the pilots during WW2. https://ventile.co.uk/history/
Attenborough wore one in some of his natural history documentaries.
I looked at Tilak, but I'm afraid that the cost of importing one now would negate any price advantage.

Do you need to keep your foot on the brake pedal, and the ignition switched on while you're actually shooting?
Or have I misunderstood something?

Sorry, I thought someone was looking for a recommendation for a target air pistol, not a specific model....

A leftie one of these recently sold for £290. I have one (RH), and it's brilliant......very accurate, and 490fps with RWS R10 pellets....5 shot magazine, rapid fire..........
The CO2 cartridges are cheap. Servicing and spares for the guns are still available via www.sureshot-airguns.co.uk. They might even be able to help with sourcing one.
Highly recommended but not easy to find.

And a bit more context:

No vaccine for this, though.......

That time is unlikely to come. All the indications are that the virus is endemic...it has to be managed/worked around.
Hopefully, the vaccines will facilitate this to a certain extent.

A lot of people are "carrying on as usual", which is maybe why the infection rate is so slow to recede...........

Dorg said: "and as value for money they could start with target maintenance...."
I'll drink to that, particularly where the Intarso target frames are concerned............

This is my plan for a CG-RPA 2000 that I have, presently in 6x47.......the second barrel will be 6BR.

Inject polyester or epoxy resin mixed with filler in the stock bolt holes to give a solid region where strength is needed, then drill and add pillars to taste............at least, that's what I'd do.
I assume the Bifrost is the cheapest option?

The second link is just for the wire coils, not the heater.....read the description. (Unless Condition 1 meant that you'd need both?)
This is a regular ploy used on ebay...........

The mini-USB power lead socket on the Labradar is ridiculously flimsy for such a piece of equipment............a standard USB would have made more sense. I'm looking at ways to modify mine.

Well at least it's reassuringly expensive, like the "high end" brands.........

Might just be worth a punt for 170 squid................

Has the ebay money back guarantee.............FWIW I agonised for days before ordering a tumbler from China, but it turned out to be fine, and is still working a couple of years on.

Presumably, the auction house takes a fee from the seller as well?
Pete

Not heard of that, but it would certainly make it much more interesting. They're very nice rifles in their original form, but if you like tacticool, at this price, this one's a no-brainer.

I'm sure this "should not" as opposed to "must not" confusion is deliberate.

What I'd really like to know is that if I drive from a tier 4 zone into an adjacent tier 4 zone to a legally open venue, according to the govt. website ie Bisley, will I be breaking the law?........................anyone??
Any police officers out there?
