  1. Did you sort yourself on this? I have a spare pair of unused covers for a 5-25×56 PM2 I really should sell.
  2. I'll second that. Very nice bloke to deal with.
  3. Your welcome. I'd like to caveat my last post. When I said my experience was not of a bullet exploding or fragmenting in an unwanted manner, I must repeat my experience is only of shots that have not hit the shoulder, just clean "engine room" shots.
  4. I was sceptical as maybe you are. They were recommended to me by my local gunsmiths Dauntsey Guns who are in a high density roe area. They said that the feedback they'd had from customers was good. I can't deny it's marketed as a varmint bullet but my experience has not been that of it exploding / fragmenting in an unwanted manner.
  5. Forgot to say, I worked up a good round with N140 but settled on R15 in thecend as marginally more accurate. Admittedly R15 is more temperature sensitive so to be quite honest the N140 only slightly less accurate would have been the more sensible choice.
  6. Shot in the region of 50 roe with 87 grain V-Max in 243 Win @ circ 3100fps MV. No silly head shots, all heart and or lungs. Not on one of them have I accidentally hit the shoulder, so I can't account for how they expand if you do. What I can say is this, these are by far the best bullet I have used on roe. No excessive damage, whether 40m shot or 250m shot. If you hit the heart and or lungs with the odd rib only on entrance on exit then you get good exit and blood and never more than your normal 20 metre run before they collapse for obvious reasons. I have 308 and 284 but 243 87grns are my roe preferred choice. I say I've shot about 50, it may be more, I'm just being conservative. They are reasonably prices and good BC to boot. Mike
  7. I came across an old guy in Birmingham jewellery quarters; his surname was Meeks. He specialised in watch repairs. No idea how good he was or what he charges. I just browsed around his shop counter out of curiosity whilst in the area.
