Except I've found the hornady gauge to be out by up to 2mm depending on which set of instructions you use. This method is engineering, the hornady gauge is art mixed with guessing.

This may well be old news to most people. I've been using this method for a while now, but a friend was recently struggling with seating depth using a Hornady gauge. I showed him this method and he was way off using 'feel' on the Hornady gauge and has now sorted his load. So in case anyone else is struggling...

Standard is the one to go for.

I tried TAC shortly after the big Varget shortage a few years ago and couldn't get it to work in my 1:8 T3 with 80gr SMK. I settled on N140 then more recently RS50.

I'm not sure if the BC will be good enough for long range competition but I've had good results up to 600m with Lapua Scenar 185gr. They are cheap and abundant too.

Would be better, side on. To be more like a normal handle.

That's not what I was told by everyone at my club who had pistols taken.

Change from government compensation? Only if you're buying a Mars bar.

You probably could but I wouldn't trust the Lee scales without anything stuck to it, let alone modified.

Same as the metal ones only they don't cut your thumb or cause you to swear. They are a bit more flexible being plastic so they don't grip the cartridges quite as hard as the usual metal ones so I wouldn't want to go into battle with them but for range use, they are great.

Here's a link to my Thingiverse which has a few things. https://www.thingiverse.com/MrCetirizine/designs

After having a printer that's only capable of PLA for so long, it's fantastic to now have a choice of materials to make truly strong functional parts. PETG > Nylon 12 > Polycarbonate

The same test piece (nut and bolt) but this time in polycarbonate...

Yep, mk3s but I got it a tungsten nozzle so I can print fibre reinforced filaments.

I bought a new printer capable of printing in all kinds of filaments. Test print in Nylon

My first grant was 9 months. Unfortunately, there's no maximum time they must meet.

I use Fusion 360. It is still available as a free non-commercial option.

I did actually make one of those based on an aluminium one a friend had. I put it on thingiverse for people to download but was contacted by a guy who apparently invented them. He asked me to take the design down and I didn't want to get sued, so I did.

Mine is a flashforge finder which was about £400 when I bought it two years ago but is down to £300 now. https://www.amazon.co.uk/FLASHFORGE-3D-PRINTER-FINDER/dp/B07J6NQC1G/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1549391598&sr=8-4&keywords=flashforge+finder I'm planning to get an Anycubic Mega-S though so I can print with glass reinforced nylon among other plastic types. https://www.amazon.co.uk/ANYCUBIC-Printer-Printing-UltraBase-Filament/dp/B07JN7HFYS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1549392531&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=anycubic+mega-s&psc=1

Just reprinted the .223 AICS one in a nicer colour and added some grabby grooves at the bottom.

I just printed single shot adapters for my .308 RPR and .223 AICS chassis'd T3. Saved myself £140 Is anyone else using a 3D printer for stuff?

I think Sabatti own the patent on MRR so other companies can't use it without paying a license fee. I almost bought one in .308 but went for a RPR instead as they had one in stock at my local dealer. I've seen a few of them shoot and I've never seen them perform badly.

Actually, looking at it, it doesn't look as though Gloucestershire have gone fully online yet. It seems you can only download forms to fill in manually. I know Lincolnshire were the first to go paperless but we've had that for nearly two years, so I thought everyone else had gone online too but apparently not.

Have a look here https://www.gloucestershire.police.uk/do-it-online/firearms-licensing/ You'll have to create an account. It may automatically link to your application or you may have to call and see if they can link it.

It depends where you are. Here in Lincolnshire the system is online so you can log into your account to see how things are progressing. If your area is not online then you can phone your licensing department and ask them but don't pester as that will just slow things down. Essentially, wherever you are, once they receive your application, they'll cash your cheque etc. Then they'll contact your doctor to ask if you suffer from any appropriate conditions. At this point you may hear from your doctor demanding money for this report. In the meantime, they'll check to see if you have a criminal record and contact your referees. If all is good at this point then you'll hear from your FLO/FEO to arrange an interview date. Once that is done and they've decided you and your security arrangements are OK, they'll issue your certificates. Expect a minimum of 4 weeks and a typical maximum of 6 months. Tell us where you are and other members from that area can give you a better estimate of how long it's likely to be.
