Re-Pete

I always call them "copper projectiles".................never had a problem.

Pete

Hermes lost £80's worth of stuff that I'd sold on Ebay..............vintage radio valves. Despite my accurate description of contents, and delivering three packs of these without a problem, when I tried to claim, they said "we don't deliver anything with glass, it's a restricted item"................wouldn't use them again.

I take anything I'm sending to the local Uni branch of the Post Office now, 2nd class recorded delivery, or special deliv if it's expensive..............never let me down yet. ( hope that doesn't turn out to be "Famous last words......)

Pete

The trigger guard could be a weak point, depending on the grain orientation, and the action would need to be bedded.

Probably OK for airsoft, but maybe not for a centre/rim fire job...............they do look very nice, though.

Pete

Here's a couple of my regulars enjoying some peanuts..................they always eat these first.

Pete

According to the 2020-2021 hire charges I just downloaded from the NRA website, it should have been "N/A", whatever that means....................

Pete

Was it busy?

Pete

The Bisley frames are a doddle compared to those at Moody Down MOD range................

Pete

Me too.............perhaps someone simply wants to emphasise that they're "in control". I'd have thought that an approach which actively encouraged people to attend, thereby increasing the cash flow, would have made more sense. Maybe they're afraid that they'll be swamped by thousands desperate to play with their toys......

Pete

Here you go........I had one for my R93 LRS. You can wear it on a belt.

Pete

Quite........factor in a 100mile round trip, and it's even less so...........

Pete

As an aside, if I caught this disease, at my age, I am very aware that it could be pretty much game over.

So you betcha, I wouldn't be taking any chances.

Pete

Private Marker has a point.................I planned to book two hours for myself and my partner, but it seems we'd not be allowed to both occupy the firing point at the same time and shoot in turn as we have in the past.

I can't see where this would contravene any of the "regulations" currently in force regarding social distancing, and yes, it does seem as though we're deemed irresponsible by default.

Pete

I'll start up again when they open mid-week...............we're an hour away. ('er indoors will be coming, so two hours is OK).

Pete

Sadly, enough do to make it worth the scum continually trying it on................

Pete

That point occurred to me, as well................it could be heaving, and will take some time to go through the signing in ritual, or whatever they've arranged to do instead.

Pete

Triffid, I shine a torch across the top of the filled case and add drops of water using a hypodermic syringe with a fine needle..............it's easy to see if the meniscus is flat (required), concave , or convex from the reflection of the light from the water surface.

Thanks Miki, we'll give the local Lidl another go first.

Pete

No, Gruntus is more deserving........................

Pete

Where are you getting the yeast and bread flour from??? We can't find yeast (quick kind for bread machine), or any decent wholemeal flour anywhere (or online).............

Pete

Paraffin SG varies..........the spec is from 0.78 to 0.82, so in a hair-splitting exercise like this, water might be more precise.

Don't forget to allow for the coefficient of expansion with temperature................😂

Pete

It's worth considering that media outlets that do have some integrity, and there are some, wouldn't even consider this trivial tripe to be of any interest to anyone.................

Pete

Just butting in.............Brian Fox (Foxfirearms) sells the Bergara barrel blanks, and I can say they're excellent.

I'm currently using 2 of them, 6mm and 6.5.

Pete

I'll second that......I have an old Lee Classic, and it works fine. I also measure to the ogive as I've found discrepancies with every make of bullet that I've tried when measuring to the meplat.

A decent vernier seater is also well worth the money........I use Redding.

Pete

Quite......

Pete

Popsbengo got it right...............but at least they've shoved off to do their own thing elsewhere without milking the Brit taxpayer.

Pete

The "ramp" either side of the winder is a must, whatever watch you acquire.
