Me too, couldn't connect, but fine tonight.

I would agree, I too use an BCBS Chargemaster lite.

Baldie mentioned N150 is better for shorter barrels. 

When changing powders to Vihtavuori for the 6.5CM, I was advised by someone who has forgotten more than I know to use N160 for 139s, but N150 for 123s.

Folk do use 150 with 140 grain bullets, I've always thought it a little fast, unless you have a short barrel. I've long used 150 with 123 grain bullets in the creed however.

160 works very well with the heavier bullets. Its the go to favourite in the 260 rem with heavies, the creed is not a lot different.

I use N160 (41.5) using Lapua 139s, in my (son shoots) Ruger PR (24" barrel). Getting approx. 2614 ft/s and no problem operating the electronic targets at 1000 yards. Yes, I could load no powder, but haven't felt the need.

For reference using N160:

41.0 - 2574 ft/s

40.5 - 2554 ft/s

There are a couple of different types:

I initially used the first type, but found it a bit of a faff, when trimming 50 cases, so now I use the second link and it is quite easy.

What made you choose the Onyx chassis, over the other MDT Chassis systems; weight?

These are a great scope, I have one on my AT and whilst I do want another for my RPR, a little out of my price range at the moment.

I am using N150 with 185s. Using 42 grs this achieves 2579/2569/2560 = 2569ft/s average.

For comparison, when using IMR4895 with 185s, using 42.3grs the average velocity was 2629 ft/s

So, will it record a 223 hit?

In my limited knowledge, it all depends on the speed of the bullet. I have seem .308 not register when shooting at 1000 yards.

Thank you, best wishes, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too.

I was there and it was fantastic shooting by Daryl (as usual!).

No dont , we are explaining why you should`nt vote for Corbyn.😁

Funny post :) 

"I don't care about the nonsensical arguments about "democracy ",  what an appalling statement.

I didn't vote for Tony Blair in 1997, I didn't get another vote because I didn't like the result  - leave means leave!

If there was another vote (and there shouldn't be), if it's still leave, what then? another vote until certain people get the result they want or is it best out of 3 (or 5) or first to 3 (or 5)? We voted leave and that means leave (WTO applies).

I hope Boris gets a majority ( a substantial one) and a reasonable form of Brexit is delivered. Anything else would be a betrayal of the referendum. This is not particularly good for me as a Brit living in Europe but for me principles come before my personal gain or comfort.

Corbyn, a total terrorist supporting bawbag, beggars belief how anyone could vote for that.....for example:

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thesun.co.uk/news/10492471/jeremy-corbyn-co-sponsor-event-ira-terrorist/amp/

I too hope that Boris gets a (very) large majority, leave means leave (there has always been a deal available, it's called WTO!).

Will Czech not be tempted to follow us if we leave ?

I do hope so!

There is a LOT more to worry about with comrade Corbyn than just taking our guns away.

I would agree. Why anyone who owns more than the clothes they are stood in would vote for Corbyn (the terrorist sympathising communist) and the lefty bunch of clowns is beyond me - I wouldn't trust Labour (Lib Dem, Green etc.) to run a bath!    

I would suggest that all those voting Labour, also put a cross in the Lib Dem box, just to be sure that they don't get a Conservative government

Do you have to aim under below 50m?

No, at 50m I place the crosshair of the reticle on the centre of the target only adjusting for windage either by adjusting the scope of 'aiming off'. 

Both my .22LRs are zeroed at 50m and shoot mostly at 50m but occasionally at 100m.

I have a 1970's one of those, also have a 1970's CWC with the same case design (one is 1974 and the other 1977, would need to check which is which). Hamilton are underrated in my opinion.

Great looking rifle and stock.

Also, do you have a muzzle brake fitted?

That looks a great day out, however, booked my tickets to the NEC classic car show.
