You’re a trader/business

Some times ignorance is bliss. Tikka’s have a good reputation for accuracy. @the gun pimp knows what he is talking about so have confidence in his advice.

Thank you. That would be a preferred speed for the 87gr v-max. I was hoping I hadn’t messed up going with the short barrel. I would get some factory Hornady but getting some seems to be an issue.

I have a 6mm creedmoor with 20” barrel. First loads were with N150 and I didn’t get obturation with the listed safe data provided by Viht. I have since moved to RS62 worked up to 42.7gr excellent accuracy with the 87gr V-max. My only issue is the very low velocity of 2700fps. I’ll be honest I was expecting something like 2900fps. would trying N140 be advisable to chase velocity? it’s not a range rifle so I’m not worried about cooking the barrel with fast rounds. I want it for varmints and fox from a vehicle. Hence the shorter barrel. speed isn’t everything but it certainly helps in the wind which is a bugger on my ground.

You definitely won’t fall foul of the rules for selling these.

You can use a .308 small base die for 6.5X47 i have a barrel done by Callum Ferguson. It’s min spec and won’t chamber cases that have been once fired in another chamber. .308 small base die sorts it.

Wrong kind of bag 🤣

I have a Minox MD80 which is quite frankly massive And a Leupold MK4 which is a much better size and might be suitable for you. Although prices I have found have sky rocketed. But on offer from Minox is a little 16-30 power model and at £199 if the MD80 is anything to go by the image should be good. https://www.minox-optics.com/uk/MINOX-Spotting-Scopes-MD-50-W/80405421

I won’t be changing my Garmin, it just works with no messing about. I can’t see you being a me to get better results and the loss from swapping wouldn’t be work it. Such a small neat product. fits in my Temu £8 case with the kestrel, I won’t be changing.

What’s the bottom metal inlet?

I have no connection to the seller. You might need to be a member to rely to the advert. Just thought it might be helpful. https://www.thestalkingdirectory.co.uk/threads/fortmeier-12-o’clock.287421/

Moved to general discussion. Not a direct wanted advert but someone may be able to assist.

Viht load data changed a few years ago with very conservative top end. So much so I got serious issues with my 6mm creedmoor and N150 I posted about the issue of sooty cases around the rim. Very odd indeed. Yet with RS62 I achieved excellent accuracy and no issues with soot. I’m yet to chrono the load.

Thank you Laurie. I suffered my first carbon ring at the weekend. The rest of the bore didn5 look too bad though. This is in a 7mm SAUM. I’ll give it a go in the creed.
