Hi there go to load for 155’s in 26” barrel acc int AT 308 using N140 is round the 46 grain mark . 42.5 grains N135 for Berger 155.5 s 44 grains N150 for 175’s all at 2.9 coal and found base to ogive length of 2.234 or 2.237 seems to be the magic length for all bullets in my barrel . I have previously put some of my loads in the hand loading section along with bullet speeds so have a look there for further info . Cheers Rich

Hi all lefties l am a lefty shooting 2 anschutz rifles in 22, and 17 hmr both rimfire s are left hand stock with RH BOLT , shooting standing with light rifles is ok and most of my shooting is off primos sticks . For the big 308 I have accuracy international AT model with RHbolt all shooting is bipod or pig saddle and tripod based but bolt does allow quick reloads when doing the club shoot which is timed 2 shots on limited see target which comes in handy . AI do full left hand models via sporting services but I didn’t want to wait so got the RH type and loved it . Cheers

Hi there l cit down a piece of Picatinny rail with a suitable hole in it , put double sided strong sticky tape on it then stuck it to top of the archer . Then found and trimmed an Allen bolt to make all secure . Adjustable mount on the IR Torch from night master works great . Hope this gives some ideas cheers

Try second hand ones then

4 inch record vice will do most home stuff , 6 inch becomes very heavy but opens very wide . Got my 4” from machine mart many years back

Anyone looked at Doxa if you like divers watches big and chunky. Original Sub 250 not too big and nice orange dial makes a difference/ talking point . Nice bracelets too . Only on the web I think

Hi all here goes hobbyking web site to menu - battery accessories- battery adapters - fat shark goggles 18650 lit ion headset battery case part number SKU 253000094-0. £ 14-71 . Cut wire halfway on the wire to the moulded black plug , don’t use the one with the white plug bare off the ends and solder ina 6 volt step down regulator as two 18650 s make 7.2 volts which might be too much for the drone . Regulator needs to be small seen a drop lm2587 unit on amazon which might do ( 5-35 v in and 3-30 out adjustable ) solder this in line red to plus and black to neg to the black plug wires . Black plug fits into the drone accessory wire and plugs into aux plug on top right of drone . Try to set up volts out to 6v with a volt meter and try to waterproof circuit as best you can , on mine it fits under the cameo tape then I velcroed the battery to side of 17 hmr anschutz with sticky pads . Battery box has a button to push to show charge of battery via 4 blue leds .Hope this makes sense and helps .

Hi foxinmad try hobby king fat shark battery box for two 18650 batteries and add a cheapo 6 volt regulator and use wires that come with the drone usually get six weeks worth of shooting ie 18 hours use . Just need a bit of soldering and it has a battery charge indicator built in , much cheaper than armasight version at 300£

Hi MrDuston just for info I have the AI Bipod on the AT 308 and have changed to the fortmeir and my groups have got smaller and the sight picture stays on target better , think it’s to do with it recoiling straight backwards with the fortmeir sliding on the skid bases rather than jumping as with the AI version . Cheers Rich

7x284 one long slippy bullet with a big load of bang behind it RS 62 powder. Seen a few of these lately in the club for the longrange boys

Btw all above 10 shot groups

175 Berger s with 44.5 g of N550 at 100 yd’s

Sorry didn’t have pics for the Berger 155.5 s so put the above in for fun still learning how to work the i phone . Above was with 44 grains of N150 coal 2.9” and cbto of 2.237 . Cheers

Hi all my AT has 26” barrel with the threaded muzzle break and screw on AI moderator . 155.5 Berger s are the best accuracy 42.5 g of N135 2.9 “ coal gives less then thumbnail size groups at 100yds and at 300 all shots in the bull on a modified ie small bull f-class target cheers

Forgot to say the Amax can end up jammed into the lands if made to 2.9 coal thinks it’s cos they are a blunt ish design so go with the cbto length . They worked fine at 2.81 coal . Cheers

Hi there my AT loves 155+168. Amax. n135 for all 155s and n150 for 168 to 185s . Berger fullbore 155.5 very very good also 175 and 185 bergers . It’s not so happy with lapua or Sierra TMk s . 42.5 g of n135 for 155 s and 44-45 grains of n150 for the heavies . Coal 2.9 inch. Cbto 2.237. Hope it helps

Local Feo wanted my wife to be there when I had my interview to ask her if she minded me having guns . Also was informed that proof of shooting would be usefull so I got out my diary’s of air gun shooting rabbits etc at the farms submitted then was told by feo that he thought that was a bit ocd . Already had cabinet in place inside sliding wardrobes with the air rifles inside . He also wanted to know where the keys were ie inside a key lock with combination code and asked wife if she knew the number and where the spare keys were answered NO to the questions . Added that code for key lock is in my will with the solicitor in case she needs to sell guns when I’m gone . Feo happy and he didn’t want tea or coffee . Get the biggest safe if can fit it in house so scopes don’t bash each other and Feo will know how many guns you can safely store . 17 hmr and 22lr for pests and 308 for targets all ok on first application and being a member of a club helped . Happy shooting and stay safe

Hi all after 36 years in the chemical industry when it was frowned upon to wear ear plugs as the lads would call you a pussy , and now on a plant where ear protection is mandatory and I have routinely been tested every 2 years . I now have a noticeable hearing dip in the graph and constant tinnitus and have only been shooting 3 years also done 20 years of motorcyles without hearing protection so that will not of helped . point is take care of your hearing and use the best gear with the highest protection available . Only good point is I cant hear the washing machine / dishwasher beeping to say its finished - drives the wife nuts ha ha

Hi All spent time last night testing some new ammo at the club . anschutz 1416 on bipod at 25 m 10 shots each test winchestersubs 42 gr new type good group and tight sideways .5 inch but a spread of 1 inch up and down . £6 per box new type 38 gr eley subs .5 inch group , smaller head than before £ 7 RWS subs best group less than 10 mm ragged hole , very waxy all over £ 8.50 was previously using the old eley subs 40 gr and looks like you cant get these anymore so was looking for a replacement, RWS or Eley for the future depending on what the shops have . cheers
