I would be very interested in your input on the N150 instead of the N140 I'm using if you have time to share? ATB Martin.

Hi, I was out for a couple of hours yesterday working up a load for my 6.5x47, 26" tube. I had a tub of N140 left after selling my 6mm BR and I bought a few 130 grn TMk's to try and see if I could get them to work, I will stick with a powder charge now and have a play about with the seating depth. I was on a good group and I blew up on the 5th shot and pulled it LOL.

Hi Pete, I was on furlough also for 12 weeks got paid off but I'm back working now and on my second week. Not been out much on the shooting side of things, I hope things pick up for you work-wise soon P. Post up a couple of photographs of the Challenger when you get if finished if you could, I would love to see it. Take care P. All the best.

Any 22 creedmoor shooters?

My 22/250 Tikka 595 does well with 75-grain amax, 26" tube 1:8 twist running at just under 3400 fps. Foxes hate it lol -
My tikka 595 has a 26" 1:8 tube and I use 75grn Amax with Swiss RS 60 and running at 3360 fps and hellish accurate π

Hi Bob, aye the thermion works fine, been used to spotting with the XP for a while now and used it with the drone, so using 2 thermals is fine. There was nothing wrong with the 15X Bob but I found it a bit fussy when focusing when you didn't have much time to take the shot, a few times I lost sight of a fox and had to go back to the spotter to pick it up again. XM 50 better on top of the rifle weight wise also for hoofing about on foot π
-
Haha been there done that, even stripped an old rucksack to the bare frame so I could carry a motor battery on it so I could stay out longer ππ¦ I have moved on a bit now. Spot with an XP 50 and there is an XM 50 Thermion on top of the 22/250 now as I punted my 15 Drone.
-
That's great news Bob with the drone back up and running againπ
-
Hi Bob, that's crap news the drone has packed in on you! What's the next step for you with it can you get it fixed?. My mate had a 15x done and it was only about 9 months old and he got the dreaded blue screen also, he sent it away for warranty work. I have only just set up the new scope Bob and not used it in anger yet so time will tell when I get out and about with it, I will let you know how I get on with the new XM50 Thermion scope ππ¦ beware LOL ATB Martin.
-
Sorry, Richiew just saw the post just now, cheers for taking the time to post this up. My drone has been sold on now I've moved on to thermal Regards Martin.
-
Cheers Bob, I think I will do the same buy in bulk. I have tried a few different rechargeable batteries in my 15x drone and they don't last long. I put an extended rail on my 595 Tikka, perfect eye relief for the drone. All the bestπ
-
Great result Bobπ tidy set up you have there. What batteries are you using to feed the drone? Regards Martin.
-
Had a couple of foxes spooked with my ir also Bob, it's an armasight one on top of the drone. I just bought a Solaris SRX but not had the chance to get out and test it yet. Going to try to get out Saturday night for a few hours and try the Solaris, will let you know how I get on with it. ATB Martin.
-
Bob, mibi foxes getting dropped off at the ground you are picking up on? Ahh well, you better get out and onto those other 5 that were seen today, lucky bugger! lol
-
Well done on the shooting Bob you are knocking them over just now π, I was out on a small farm I shoot on and seen two on Saturday night got one of them, the other one would not stop for me. I wonder if they get spooked with the glow on the ir sometimes! ATB Martin.
