I'll take one

The Moderator is probably the issue. Triggering is by sound.

You might be able to read it with the mod if you change the trigger to Doppler, but that will only start registering once the radar picks out the bullet in flight, so less reliable for at the muzzle velocities.

Without the mod you should be fine

With a muzzle brake, 6" forward of the unit. Without, alongside 

Never had a problem with 223

Yep, I have it now.

Might interest someone with kids in the Hants area https://www.gmk.co.uk/vacancies/9

A fellow shooter bought one from Oakrise Arms. It was assembled from NOS Beretta parts and certainly looks brand new.

It shoots like a dream, is very accurate but if you are shooting strings you'll need a glove or taped fingers because cocking it will soon hurt bare hands.

At just under £1800 they aren't that pricey compared to some other rifles. I suppose it depends whether you want to shoot it a lot or just for fun. He shoots CSR iron sights with his.

I'll take that please

There's a CSR Forum??

You seem to be asking this on all the forums except the CSR one? 

Anything that is cheap, warm dry and not too expensive. 

There is no such thing as fashion in the rain and snow.

Worth taking a look here.

A bullet chucked in the drill and some autosol sorted it for me .

I tried that, still didn't work. Neck tension was my issue and no changing or polishing of stems changed the pressure needed to seat the bullet. I'll stick with my solution, it works and has done for 18 mths now.

You can book a private marker, of which I am one. Charges are slightly higher but you  know what you are getting. 

Any questions?   

Yes, how much?

I tried the VLD type stem which RCBS supplied, but I suspect it was the GGG brass I used being a little bit stiffer than other brands. The neck bushing solved it nicely, an doesn't have that annoying graunch as the ball expander pulls out of the case, so I am happy

I also found TMKs very difficult to seat without leaving a ring around the Ogive. After researching it everywhere, getting a custom seating stem made by RCBS, trying chemical metal in my existing one and mulding it to the shape of the TMK, the rings still persisted.

Eventually someone suggested neck tension was the issue, so I got a Redding neck Bushing die and full length size using the .247 neck bushing which gives about 1 thou neck tension. Problem solved, no more deformed TMKs.

I then use a Lee Factory crimp die with a light crimp as they are used in an AR straightpull.

I use 77TMKs,  24.5grains of RS52, out of an 18" barrel getting 2730fps with a COAL of 2.25" Mag length and can achieve similar results rested

If you are going to do something, just crack on and do it. The last thing you want is a thread on the internet debating whether to do it, with a username which appears to be your real name. 

If it's true and someone gets in trouble, it wouldn't take the brains of Sherlock Holmes to find the thread online and put 2+2 together.

Makes you wonder how anyone made decisions before the internet

Its no surprise to me online shooting supplies stores dont have everything in stock , naive to think they would have, think what it would cost carry dozens of each product  across say 50 -60 manufacturers , £500k? £1m ? through in optics and guns and it would be several million , margins are low in any area of online sales so its not an attractive business model for many, its been mentioned "the biggest gun dealers " in the country have never got everything people order yet they probably carry more stock than anyone , that should tell you something.

What makes it less viable is when penny pinching types buy from outside the UK , they also do the most whining .

Absolutely agree, so why not make it clear on websites about back orders and delivery times, rather than implying it's in stock when it isn't.

77 Gr TMKs over 24.5grains of RS52

I'll take them

Might want to say how many?

With those quantities you are hardly going to break the bank, either that or your daughter has unrealistic expectations regarding her inheritance! 

Thanks John
