You are correct Sir - spellcheck defeats me again.

Morning - I’ve been asked by a gamekeeper friend to assist him in hand loading for his new purchase, a rifle in 20 Varget calibre. He has some existing load recipes for 32 and 39 grain bullets, but he’s keen to try to develop a load using Barnes Grenade monometal which are 26 grain. Has anyone any experience of such a load ? If so can someone help me out with this as wildcat calibres are not included on Quickload data. I have barrel length and twist rate if required. Many thanks

Thank you - I’ve emailed him too.

Thanks for that. I’ve emailed them for prices.

Fellow watch aficionados - my 2006 Omega Seamaster is heading towards service time and also has some chips on the blue bezel. I’d like it serviced, the bezel replaced or repaired and the strap and case refinishing in the brushed style it had when new. I’ve used Watch Doctor at Tring in the past but they’re not telling me the details I want to hear before sending the watch in. Has anyone got personal recommendations for an honest competent service centre. many thanks

That’s really nice. I’d like that for my MO3 but I’m a lover of synthetic stocks. My OCD can’t cope with damaging nice wood.

Thanks. You’ve confirmed what I’ve thought for a while. If it ain’t broke .......

Members - some advice please. I’ve owned and used a Zeiss Duralyt 4-12x50 (illuminated) as my stalking scope for the past 10 years. It’s a great VFM scope, but 10 years have passed and I wonder if more modern scopes are much of an improvement optically. Factor in I’m ten years older, if I do go for a new scope am I likely to notice the difference ? This has all started since the Shooting Show at the NEC looking through every manufacturers nice shiny new scopes. The Steiner looked good VFM in my opinion. Thoughts are welcome.

Mmm. An unusual round. I know of only one reason to be using that. Stay safe.
