I'm looking into picking up a 'drag matt' its a combination of a drag matt and a shooting matt. (Its in the royal mail, haven't trialled it)
Walk onto the firing point with the bag, unzip it, unfold the mat and anything I need is ready to hand in the internal pockets along with the rifle.
When your finish pack everything up and walk to you car/ next event
Any other non essential bits stay in the car in a plastic toolbox until I need them. (But I typically have the car at the back of the firing point)
Where did you buy this from please? I have a ridgeline rifle bag that opens to a range mat, although virtually no storage
-
I've always had better accuracy and results with the 20gn rounds
-
Have tried gordons reloading tool? I've found it quite useful for load development
-
I have a friend with a fireball, he chose RS40 with the 25gn vmax, certainly works well on foxes

Thanks a lot guys.i will look into it. David i dont know what brand the 17 grain bullets are.They have a purple tip on them.I shall try them at some point but again no load data.cheers
They sound like the ones from kranks (misnamed as ramsbottoms in my previous post) I tried them with 18gn of ramshot TAC in my 17rem, apparently they were the bullets eley used for hmr2, I found them inconsistent, the heavier 25gn vmax performed much better.
-
David is pretty much spot on with that load, if the 17gn bullets are the ramsbottom ones, I found them a bit erratic, but worth a try, I have a 17rem and settled on 25gn vmax, certainly gave the best accuracy for me. There are some 25gn bergers for sale on sd at the moment
-
I just changed from a traditional shaped stock to a pistol grip stock, handling has vastly improved, however (possibly just me) I know have to relearn loading drills, with the standard stock I found weak hand loading easier, now with the pistol grip, strong hand feels better

Can I have the bench primer please

RS52 for me with that bullet in a 22-250
Cheers

Do you not find that powder a little too fast? Can I ask how it performs please?
-
I tried it but couldn't get on with it, switched to RS60 which works well for me
-
Didn't the CIA arm and train the mujahideen, noraid the IRA, plus many many others. Stable doors and horses bolting spring to mind
-
I'll take the monopod please
-
I use Ramshot TAC with 25gn vmax
-
Someones after an aftermarket 700la stock on the stalking directory
-
I've bought three rifles, one shotgun, an air rifle and a few spare parts, admittedly the guns were from dealers but the parts were from private sellers, to date, all has gone well
-
I'd ask the land owner what they require for you to shoot there

Hi, when this is zero'd does the reticle remain central?
-
I have a THLR bag which is cylindrical, and a sock filled with used tumbler media, both work very well
