I'll take the rockstad rest.

Perhaps you should then edit the original post of this thread with the new pricing.

I believe that is the current price. From memory it was £140 way back then.

Interested- will pm

I'm using a tool bag made by Metabo - in black. They come in green/black too. I found that lots of these bags had no hard base - so if you put heavy stuff in them, they sagged - and also were not designed to carry weight. With a tool bag - I can put 20kg of stuff in there, no problem - and it has a solid base.

Did you all have to pay duties on import?

You haven't put a price for the rifle.

Got any load data you can share? What sort of load and powder? I note that Vhit have load data for both N140 and N150.

Spoke with him at the Phoenix trade fair at Bisley today. Seems to know his stuff and very open to suggestions and custom requests. For instance he will do 20 bullets in various weights and sizes for testing purposes. in my case, he said his 155 .30 cal is roughly the equivalent of a Sierra 2156 and his 175 a Sierra match king of the same weight. Prices - not bad at all! £41 per hundred for the above. He seems to take pride in batching his work and keeping statistics and samples from each batch made. Gonna give it a go - over time. I managed to find Sierra 175’s - so have enough for the time being. Also got some 155 Scenar L’s - which are also supposed to be a 2156 equivalent. They too could be “plan B”

A dog? Might explain why they are still available to buy. Any idea how much these MME bullets cost? Don't see any info on the website.

Been using Sierra 175 Match King - and they've been OK to 600. I've also shot 155gr 2155's with similar results to 300. I will very occasionally shoot 1000 with my club. Problem is - i'm running out - and there are no stocks in the UK - and would like to have a plan B bullet (perhaps even plan C). I kind of like the idea of using a European one - like a Lapua which might have better availability in the future (perhaps i'm being naive). Does anyone have any practical experience in what will work? I'm using V140 - but am open to changing to a different powder if it gives the desired results. Anyone using the Scenars like the 185? The berger bullet stabilisation app says 1.50 - "stable" assuming I can get it to 2650 (seems unlikely for such a heavy bullet) but right on the cusp. At the end - only real world experience matters though - so if anyone could recommend something other than a 175 or 155 SMK which works in an AI 308 barrel - much appreciated!
