Hi thereÂ
icotec I bought at the shooting show 5 years old never had much success in my area . Mouth calls from best fox call all work much better apart from vixen in heat .Â

Rcbs or Forster pullers work well and can use the bullet againÂ

Thanks very much. Always go lapua route .
gonna cost a bit more but small groups are worth it.Â
cheers  -
Thanks very much for the load info  . Got some N135 so was going to try that once Iâve got some loading gear . Full length resize or neck only ????. With 308 Iâm only doing bushing bump and neck with forster dies .Â

Next line of thought regarding tikka 223 super varmint . Could anyone measure theirs to see how much free space for a moderator in front of the stock . ThanksÂ

Thanks for reply AlanÂ

Hi allÂ
Anyone got a .223 sako 85 varmint laminate stainless with 20â barrel . Iâm wanting to know the length of barrel in front of the stock regarding how big a wildcat moderator can be fitted . Otherwise itâs go for a 24â barrelled tikka tac or super varmint with KRG or MDT chassis ?? . Thanks in advance .

From 1050 down to 987 FPS Iâll lose 4 metres at two mils in the scope ie two mils was 96metres and now itâs 92m , no big deal . Zeroed at 23/45 near and far pb. Need to get the magneto out again when allowed to play .Â
-
Nice one , Iâll pop it into StrelokPro and check the drops/milsÂ

Rechecked the Annie barrel only 14â and use the ASE UTRA steel mod  . The rws according to reviews are about 970 FPS so slower than others and have a bit stickier wax on them from looking back in my notebook. Used to get bored at the range shooting small holes in the target so started shooting out the scoring numbers . Last set of rws was from gilsans at Richmond North Yorkshire. Think a trip is in order when allowed .Â
Great thread lots of information.Thanks to all for some good work and photos .

Great photos, think itâs time to retry the rws a true 40 grainer . Hope you enjoyed the sarnies , top marks to wifey .Â

There was a big ammo test a few years back in sporting rifle and on YouTube s shooting show tv by one of the pace brothers. Group size and expansion were tested & eley came tops . Just measured depth of the hollow point ,
eley 6mm and 11.9 mm long
cci 4.5 mm and 12.78 mm long
so eley are short with a big hole up the middle hence they are lighter?????

Just for infoÂ
CCI subs use 1.04 grains of powder .Â

Answer to no i deerÂ
only got some cci subs but havenât tried them yet . Iâll pull one this afternoon and weigh it .
one on top of twoÂ
great set of results and thanks for the pictures. My anschutz prefers the rws  subs but they are hard to find , Winchester subs usually give a tight group but tend to have a vertical spread from the 16â barrel . Iâve stuck with eley as theyâre easy to get and they do mushroom very well .
below photos of weight of CCI subs claimed to be 40 grains and 1050 FPS.
Mushroom effect of eley subs now weighing 36.34 grains from 37.1 so called 40 grainers .

This inspired me to dig out some gear , power supply and icom 7000 and tuner LDG100 . Got it working on 2 metres and 40 metres using diamond aerials on a mag mount on the garage door . Looking to put it in the hilux. Wound the power levels down to 80% to reduce the amps so cigar lighter can be used . 73s G6ICZÂ

Hi guysÂ
regarding Scenar normals versus the âLâ version. Only used them in 308 / 155 grain, but the âLâ is definitely more pointed at the tip and has a smaller hole up the tip . It looks similar to a bullet thatâs been through a pointing die . Hole size is half or better than the scenar normal .
Viht web page for loading data in 308 Iâve found to be very conservative by upto 2 grains ie Iâve gone +2 grains over max and still no signs of overpressure.
As always build up your loadsÂ
