  1. You pay by the hour for electronic targets , which depending on day of the week are 100,200,300,600,900,1000

    Or, you book a lane for half a day/full day and choose fallback distances. They then allocate a lane at each distance for you and you choose how much time you spend on each one.

    Not all distances are available every day

    You may get a mix of ranges, Short Siberia 100/200, Century 1-600, Stickledown 8-1200

    You rarely get everything you want on one session.

    You'll also need a marker if you are using electronics. Add £100 ish per day £50-60 half day

    Or, take someone with you that knows what they are doing and agrees to mark for you.

     

  2. As long as you describe it properly it surely doesn't matter what you sell, or at what stage of use.

    I could advertise ten times fired cases, it doesn't mean someone would buy them, but there is nothing to stop me selling them.

    I wouldn't bother resizing and removing the primer, just show them as they are.

    I will have to go on the zero range to do the HME test anyway, so loosing a few extra for the LE is no biggy. I do deeply resent paying £5 from my ever dwindling funds for a target, particularly when I do have an A3 printer 😃 Does anyone know where I can download a copy ?

    I have found the graduations on the singer sight, to date, to be remarkably accurate up to 600metres. I’ll be using the electronic targets, so if I can register a hit on those I’ll be well happy 😃

    The £5 is the cost of using the zero range, not for the target. 

    They won't let you rock up with your own target and zero for free.

    My mag length load for 77gr (SMK, Scenar, TMK, Nosler Custom Comp) with RS52 (now) and N140 (previously) is 24gr.

     

    24.5gr would be hot in my rifles. 

    with 77 TMKs, mine Chrono at 2730 out of an 18" barrel at 24.5 grains of RS52, with no obvious pressure signs. 

    I suppose there are bound to be variations in different rifles, so the OP should build up etc etc

     

  5. Anyone buying from Auction needs to check the fees before they bid and work out what your bid will cost. Typically they are between 28% and 35% depending on auctioneer.

    As for posting, you aren't just paying the cost of postage, you are paying for the time it takes an employee to get the item, package it, address it, get the postage sorted and dispatch it. Employees cost a lot of money to employ.  Most auctioneers use external packaging and posting companies, they will have cost you kore than £20 + vat. I just paid £40 for an item to be collected, packaged and posted.

    VAT is VAT, they can't not charge it.

    As for if the item works, it's a case of caveat emptor. If it is misdescribed then you have recourse, but buying unseen from auction, you pay your money, you take you chance.

    Have you been ripped off?

    No - you just failed to read the small print before bidding. We've all done it.
