pengo

Thank you everyone, for your advice. I’m really pleased to hear that I can have the bolt face opened up to use 6BR, as this was always my preferred option, so that’s my way forward now. I’ll be contacting a couple of gunsmith’s to get this done and then see you on the firing line. 👍

Having come to the end of the line with my 6PPC barrel, I was looking into re-barrelling it for longer range benchrest competitions - 600 or 1,000 yards, also back to 100 yards if that's possible. However, given the bolt face on my Sako 75, it's not feasible to get a 6BR or 6BRA, so I was wondering if anyone has had any success with the 6mm ARC? If you wouldn't mind telling me of your experiences, good, bad or indifferent, I would be very interested to hear. Also what powder, barrel length etc, would be great. I was hoping to use Berger 105's if it's possible. Thanks in advance for your input. Cheers. Paul

How much would you want for the V4 Autotrickler on it's own, if you were to split them, please? Cheers Paul

I think he meant NP-2DD https://www.accurateshooter.com/optics/nightforce-reticles-views-and-specs/

Thanks for replying John. I tried ordering one from Area 419 yesterday and they sent me an email today, saying they won't ship out of the country anymore. That's why I thought I'd ask if there was anywhere else. Is there any particular reason why Garmin won't let this happen, do you know?

Does anyone know if you can get the new garmin c1 pro Chrono shipped from the USA to the UK. And has anybody done it? If so, who did you use? You can pm me if you prefer. Cheers Paul

Cheers Jim. See you then. Paul

Can I take the 200 Norma 6PPC brass, please? I'll pick it up at the next 600 yard comp if that's ok? Are they still unopened? Cheers. Paul

Is it short or long action?

Thanks for that detailed reply, Laurie, it's really appreciated. As a brief aside, would the 6 1/2 work with a lighter 60gn bullet, with a psi of around 43,000 and 23.0gn N140? There is also the option of the "Geco/RUAG" primers....... Or should I just right off the whole idea of using 6 1/2 remingtons altogether and go back to my original load and bullets with the CCI BR primer? Just looking at options before I run out of the CCI

Thanks for replying, Pete. It's not looking like a good idea to use these, then???? Oh well, I guess I'll continue with my existing primers and keep a look out for some coming up for sale. Cheers. Paul

I was hoping someone with more experience than me can offer me some advice, please? I have a .223 Tikka T3 Supervarmint 20" 1:8 barrel and was going to get some Remington 6 1/2 Small rifle primers that I've seen for sale; but I have seen an advert on here that says they are not suitable for use in a .223......can anyone confirm if this is correct, please? I am using 77gn SMK's and have been loading with 24.0gn N140 and BR4's. Looking forward to any assistance. Cheers.

Sorry to hear your sad news Mr D. I wish you luck with your sale and look forward to maybe purchasing some of your future gear. All the best. Paul

Does anyone know what the going price would be for Varget powder and where best to try and locate any, please? I'm aware that this is a very big ask, given it's scarcity, but unless you ask....... Here's hoping?????
