Thanks all, fussy rifle…

Thanks for letting me know - I can shoot in the .3 region with other rifles but these are an inch! I can’t even find a node to then start on seating depth. Some of the SD’s are great but not the groups. do you think I should try my best load (which is still crap) and persevere just through seating depth? how finicky was it on charge grains?

Snakeman - I’m struggling with a newly barrelled 6mm creedmore - it’s an 8 twist brux so should work. Thanks for the photo showing the excellent group. Ive tried all powder charges up to 3200fps using viht 150. I’m worried as my other loads for 243 / 270 seemed easy to tune. It hasnt grouped and I’ve checked all screws etc.

Hi all, thanks all. My inbox has been cleared.

The next request might be a spare sako 75 ppc magazine! Seriously though, that’s a kind offer as I want to try some different bullets. I’m worried there is an issue with a new barrel. Please pm a price and details, and I’ll get back to you tmrw night

Hi all, wondering if anyone has some of these for me to buy and try. I’m struggling with the 103eldx in a 8 twist and wondered about trying these, thanks.

Quite an old but secure brattonsound gun safe. Takes 7 shotguns or fewer rifles. Im based in Thirsk North Yorkshire. It isnt as deep as new ones and measures: 24cm deep 41cm wide 151cm tall I also work in castleford 3 days a week if that works better.

I’ve no chickens

It drove from fife to Yorkshire ok. I was hoping that someone with a new lease might take it to leave in a wood,

I’ve given up my lease and am selling the ‘van. £450.

We ended our lease in Scotland and have brought back the caravan we used. It’s about 30 years old, the heater works, cooker and oven works, it doesn’t leak. Fridge piezo is broken but can be lit and works. I’ll post photos later in the week once I’ve cleaned it. Please pm if interested. Price is £500 no offers.

Hi Mossy, yes I’ve had the same problem, but I eventually found these - you can these off eBay or from this place - which I’ve no affiliation with but did buy from them. They are great for £30, the only limitation is that I can only find them in inch fitting. This works for the ludicrous lumens torches but not for my others. you can buy the scope picatinni rails on flea bay for £3. https://www.ant-supplies.uk/scope-sight-optic-accessories/laser-torch-illuminator-mounts.html

Arrived as described - thanks

Thanks for that. I think 6XC is probably the way to go. John MH - Would you mind sharing more load data - FPS achieved, brass (Norma / Peterson / Lapua?) charge weight, neck turned etc? Would you rebarrel in the same chambering? Many thanks

Hi All, thanks for the suggestions. The gun has a BAT action, Jewell trigger, nice thumbhole stock, and oddly a Remington floorplate / bottom plate. I’ll try and borrow some 22 br cases and see if it will cycle. Saying that, it isn’t always great cycling with 243! Feels like a XC, 243 or 6.6.5x47. I had originally thought of 6mm creedmore but remember seeing one of Baldie’s posts that wasn’t overly positive on the round, so had discounted it. Has anyone found improved SD /ES from their 6XC / 6x47, say compared to a 243? thanks

Hi All, Apologies for a subject done to death but I keep on swapping between cartridge choice and I’ve just bought a Brux barrel In 7.75 twist, hoping to shoot 103g ELDX for deer and plinking. The rifle has a floor plate in a shehane stock, and is not really suitable In my eyes (looks wise) for a magazine conversion, and I’d like to keep it repeating. Current barrel is superbly accurate but only shoots 55g bullets. It’s an overbore faulty 1:8. It’s near end of life. I love shooting tiny groups so I’m chasing accuracy and 2900 FPS + for the odd deer on the farm. A pals 22br is incredibly accurate and SD of 5 normally. How likely is it that BR would work in the floor plate? I guess no. I presume 6xc would work perfectly. Would 6XC give me better accuracy and reduced SD than 243? thanks all, Cooperman

Hi Skany you can’t receive any more messages! I’ve bought your latest nightsaber three Led torch so if you can pm me the code I’d be grateful thanks matt

I’m wondering if you get more consistent fps from small primers in a 243 case...

Hi All, Laurie pointed out that small primer 243 brass has become more available and I was wondering if anyone had tried it, and what the results were? Peterson brass do it for example. Thanks, Cooperman

I’ve got a couple of 243’s, both very accurate, but I’m having the same thoughts as you. A mate now has a 22br and gets almost no velocity variations through my chrono, and now shoots better at long range than me. I’ve seen him use my magneto and achieve results I’m keen to replicate. My 243’s fps vary significantly more. We both home load well, and I’m obsessive with it, but can’t match the variations. im wondering whether to go 6br or dasher next, in case, no pun intended, that the SD of the BR contributes to its accuracy.

I will take this - as long as it links t9 StrelokPro

Sorted now - thank you

Hi All, I’d be very grateful for a vixen on heat call so I’m ready for this seasons action if someone would be so kind. I’d be very happy to send my email to anyone? thanks in advance, Cooperman

My machine arrived two days ago, only just had the chance to try it. It's very, very well made, and is incredible value for money. I wish I'd bought a 223 top disc and a larger WSM disc in case I change calibre. Please what is the price of buying the spare discs alone on top? Well done Lubo!
