There's also the Redfield 3200. I've had them in 16x & 24x on a Ruger No. 1, should be a bit easier to find than the other two.

Yes, Sinclair was absorbed by Brownells a few years ago but you should be able to get a response, I presume they still sell the item, otherwise a trip to a engineering supply shop with the tool should work. I'm fortunate in that they are deemed essential, or the one near me is, one of the best tool shops in the North West.

I just measured the one on mine and it is .134" with a very coarse thread. A 6-40 screw seemed to be a close match on diameter but the thread is too fine so I'm guessing 6-32 although putting it alongside an 8-32 screw the pitch seemed coarser than that.

Guys, TR is a British discipline and .30-06 was never used, it was .303 before the 7.62mm became the service round and as TR mirrors the service round of the day, the use of 7.62 target rifles became the norm and then 5.56mm could be used as it was introduced into the services. I'm not sure how long after the change to 7.62 the .303 could be used for TR, it may still be an option for the die hard luddite. .30-06 was always an American target round but you won't see that used much, even the .308 has been put on the back burner for most competitors other than Palma, the 5.56 is predominant in ATC as the AR15 dominates and most other disciplines allow any cartridge so the 6mm & 6.5mm rounds are widely used.

Les, 107 SMK 243" 105 Lapua Scenar 2425" Never used the JLK 6mm so can't help there.

I'm not aware of any changes to the F class target but I understand the TR bull and V bull may have become smaller, not sure by how much though.

Pengo, bear in mind that at 25 yards each click of a 1/4 MOA scope turret would move the point of aim 1/16 inch, subject to it's internal mechanical integrity, surely fine enough for any target.

You'll only know for sure when you measure your brass with a seated bullet, otherwise you're just guessing. Measure a dummy round and subtract 2 thou if using neck turned cases, if not turning necks I'd assemble three dummy rounds and take the average, then subtract two thou. Having said that I've used cartridges with 1, 2 & three thou tension at various times so IMHO and for my rifles, the exact tension wasn't that important, or at least not as important as say charge weight and bullet seating depth. Some people recommend buying two or three incremental sizes to experiment with anyway.

Clover, Just one correction is that .223 can be used in TR although it's generally only a few hard core individuals that use it and mostly at club level and regional comps, that allow handloads, the ammunition offered in most national events, being issued is not conducive to high scores!

Pat, I have a RB L3 trigger which may not be the model you have but there are three adjustment screws on the front face of the trigger body. Top is weight of pull, clockwise increases this, middle is overtravel, clockwise reduces this, bottom is sear engagement, clockwise reduces this. I made some notes on the instruction manual that weight and overtravel require a 5/64 allen wrench and sear requires 1.5mm/.060". I'd recommend a mid strength thread lock if you're going to adjust these, but I found them relatively easy to set up and mine is very reliable, it's been on my 40X since 2003 or so and never malfunctioned, just clean it with lighter fluid every so often. Richard.

I also have both and they are 35 degrees, the reamer prints also show that, it's the KMR that changes it to 40, not sure about the other wildcats based on that case.

Dies now sold, Thanks for looking.

Another one for N165 & KVB-7 in the Shehane

See if you can smash a slightly oversize torx bit into what's left, clamp the base in a drill press and using downwards pressure on the handle use a suitable spanner to turn the bit .

Used both, first the Winchester M70 .30-06, then the Remington 700, 7.62, the Winchester with an 8x Unertl scope, the Remington, Redfield 3-9x.

Make sure to check no balls have adhered to the inside case neck, great way to ruin a good barrel.

Hornady recommend a 1:8.5 twist for this bullet.

It's not a problem for Remington or the majority of their customers!

Thanks Vince.

Montey, The Kongsberg system has been in use at Brockholes range near Huddersfield for over fifteen years, I helped install it, nobody would even think about going back to manual markers, plus several international level shooters regularly use it, they simply wouldn't bother if it was anything other than better than manual marking. I've marked in the butts at various ranges for years and have always been amazed at the inconsistencies and 'tolerances' used by human markers, electronics, in my opinion, are much fairer for everybody. I shot on the Silver Mountain Targets at Diggle a few weeks ago and they were just as good, if not better than the Kongsberg as they don't use a soundbox, just use existing frames and calibrate correctly. (Apologies to those guys at Diggle who set up the targets, just and calibrate make it sound very easy, I know a lot of hours were spent making the system work). You also get to see the velocity of the shots if your device has a large enough screen to take advantage of it, unfortunately, my Iphone didn't. The only question now is which tablet to buy? Richard.

Laurent, certainly an improvement with the different seating depth. I realised the figures on your loading box which I took to be velocity were seating depths,, so it would interesting to find out what speed you were getting with N560. Richard

Laurent, If you mean the dotted line is the X ring, then the group is around 3.5", which would be unacceptable to me at 300m. Maybe you could try different seating depths in 5 thou increments starting at the lands or slightly into them and working back and see what that does to the groups. I would have said that N560 would be far too slow for the 6.5 Creedmoor but you seem to be getting pretty impressive speeds with the 147 grain bullet. I've been using N550 and N160 with Berger 140 VLD's and best accuracy was around 2900fps with both powders, although I'm not happy with the consistency so have also ordered some Hornady 147 ELD to try. Richard.
