Re-Pete

Mine's been going strong since they first came out...........gotta be three or four years, possibly more.

I have several "magazines" for it so replenishing primers take seconds.

Pete

This:

This is the best I found for ease and speed of use..............of course, it's a Lee, so the reloading cognoscenti might roll their eyes.....

Pete

Might have guessed, just about the most hypocritical rag of the lot, nowadays.

Pete

Can you tell me what COL you load the 90gn Bergers to, please?

Pete

Very....

Pete

What's the barrel length and round count?

Pete

Where did the antis give this impression?

Pete

Yes.......assuming you're both full NRA members with current membership and shooters cards.

Pete

I seem to remember buying RS52 in a nice 10kg plastic barrel.......favourite powder for 308, 6BR, and 223.

Pete

We have spare barrels in different calibres for a couple of our rifles and there's no identifying number for these either on the barrels or the FAC's.

Just the calibre and manufacturers name, "spare barrel" in the Type column, and "none" in the ID number column.

Then again, all our rifles are pretty much "mongrels", made up from various bits...

Pete

What irritates me is driving 50 miles to Bisley, paying £53 for two hours on a Shotmarker target, only to get an error message that one sensor isn't properly connected with the first shot, and then to be told "You can ignore that, it's still working OK....."  If that's the case, why not build the thing with three sensors in the first place?? Or better still, check it's fully operational BEFORE the punters arrive??

And that mysterious shot that's recorded as a black circle on the roundel but that isn't scored in the box at top right........we were told this is most likely caused by frame movement between shots due to wind.

The system is apparently used with rigid steel target frames in the US....that sounds a bit dodgy to me. The chances of ricochet are pretty high, and it CAN come straight back. And if it can, sooner or later, it will.

I remember a mate getting smacked in the Jacobs with a 22 air rifle pellet that did just that....

Then again, they do have a lot more room to play in the US...

Pete

I apologise.....I really didn't spot that.

Pete

Asking price would be handy......

Pete

I have the same scope, same info hand written on the box end, and it's 1/4 MOA clicks, second FP.......and it's a VERY good scope.

Pete

I'll have the 400 if they're still available, please.

PM me?

I was thinking more in terms of someone who's been given permission to shoot over another persons land, but who doesn't belong to any shooting organisation.

Back in the day, I rented a bungalow on a 600 acre mixed farm for a few years, and the owner said he'd be happy if I shot rabbits and pigeons as long as I left the pheasants and duck alone (for his paying syndicate).

I obtained a shotgun cert, bought an old AYA 12 bore for £45, and enjoyed lots of rabbit meat, but I don't remember anyone asking me about insurance.......

Pete

Is there currently any requirement to show that you have "adequate" insurance cover if you're a game shooter/stalker who doesn't belong to a club?

Is there a definition of "adequate" given anywhere?

Pete

Two Pacific Tool & Gauge reamers, one marked: 20 VARTARG TURBO RGH, PTG 10/07, the other : 20 VT TURBO  .234  NK  PTG  8/07, plus GO and NO GO gauges.

Some info here : http://www.accuratereloading.com/20vtt.html

No idea what they're worth......I acquired them from a late colleagues estate.

They do appear to be in good condition.

£120 posted ? Or try an offer?

Re-Pete

Hi Pinkfoot,

The rifle is my partners, and although she's switched to the 6BR barrel, she has now decided to hang on to the 308 barrel as she feels that when the time comes, the rifle will be easier to sell as a Savage 12 FTR with it fitted.

Re-Pete

Now sold.

Re-Pete

6.5 cal 1:8 s/steel Bergara barrel blank. See sketch for dimensions

£160 posted.

PM if interested.

Re-Pete

I can almost taste it already..........😃

Pete

At a recent renewal, we noticed that the online application (Beta version?) didn't mention "proof of use", but when the FEO dropped in, he asked for it.

This was a copy of the NRA Bisley log. We haven't bought factory centrefire ammo for at least 12 years now... the office knows that we reload.

Pete

Excellent, I'd say.....
