Totally agree , these make super concentric rounds . Also bought a hornady dial checking tool used it a few times then got rid of it as the die just always made great results. Sometimes there’s a small ring on the ogive of ELD bullets but nothing to worry about regarding performance. The bushing dies are also very good. If your loading 308 buy this .

Defo go for the 22 lr , with good subsonic ammo and known distance it does a great job. Once the rabbits get wary of what s happening the n use a hmr and keep a bit further away. Wonder if the quiet 22 s thump into the ground of the bullet makes them run for cover against the fact that the hmr noise covers the noise of the bullet striking the ground and they’re left thinking, what’s that about?????. Every calibre is a tool to do a job. Pick your tool to suit the conditions. cheers

Definitely quiet 22 . But often the loud hmr can do a great job. Yes it’s noisy but the rabbits don’t always know where the noise comes from so they just carry on as normal. And it can take care of a close fox too .

N450 lrf pulsar £999 pard rear add on with lrf would keep your aim points and much cheaper. both at Utting’s

This is my main reason for using the 17 hmr with a drone pro . Staying a bit further away from the rabbits and picking them off at 100 yards. Pulsars have a first focal mildot ret that could be calibrated for the loopy trajectory and the older pulsars should fit the bill or Yukon units. cheers

Stick with Forster mate can’t go wrong and they are very good quality. I have used redding and hornady but only their competion grade offerings. Micrometer seating dies are useful.

10 moa looks spot on for your speeds etc . Just checked my 185 data . 300 to 600 is up 4.2 moa from 100 y zero then 14 gives 600 .

Hope it’s not some daft offset numbers in StrelokPro. Could go to a 100 yard zero and start over again?? . Work things out backwards to the 300 zero and see where the turrets start working properly if you can clamp the rifle solidly then turn turrets to find where the reticle starts to move might give some insight. 185 jugs are a great choice for the longer range targets. with a 20 moa rail and 38 mm high rings I still need a fair amount of up on the turret to get a 100 yard zero . Just a dafty is the rail on the right way round ie fat end to the rear of the stock . Looking at the scope from the side you should be able to see a slight downward slope from stock end to barrel end . Stock end being higher than barrel end. Hope this doesn’t sound patronising and hopefully you get things sorted. Cheers

Lovely toys there , they certainly make life much easier. My v4 turned up 2 months after ordering. 23.5 g for the 223 comes out very accurately and quickly. Will be trying it on the n150 after the 1 July shoot at catterick. Might need a little washer under the rear mount just to get the flow rate upto the recommended rate .

Well done . I’ll be out next Wednesday so I’ll be taking the caller and setting up am ambush . Cheers

Machine mart do one that’s a fair bit lighter at 9 kg 100 mm jaw size which would be mor appropriate.

Fancy one of these with soft jaws https://www.primetools.co.uk/brand/irwin-record/?product-category=bench-vices

Great link there to Etsy vise grips etc . Thanks for that scotch egg . Bog standard record 3 or 4” vice and some custom soft jaws looks like a very good solution. cheers

Area 419 , orange bench vise 1500 dollars if you have the cash

Lots of vices at zoro.co.uk

We use these at work and they are great.

It’s called real avid master gun vice . Try searching with bench mounted at the end.

They respond well to a caller as they havnt been educated yet in what’s man made . Beware they sometimes run in very fast . I stopped using rabbit distress as I’ve shot most of them so pheasant or young hare works well for me . The old fox s don’t respond much to the gc 500

Berger 155.5 s are good for 1000 if pushed at high 2800s on calm days . Don’t change if you’re getting good results with the 308. 185 juggs for the windy days , don’t waste them if you’ve got them . next best is 175 lrbt bergers 178 eldms and have a try with 155eldms , usually easier to get than bergers . happy shooting

Something with a nice long slippery high bc bullet pushed fast enough to stay transonic at your longest possible range . 308 for my 26” barrel with 185 Berger s struggles at 1000 but no problem at 700 . The new 300 prc or 7 mm 08 could be good. Barrel life can be very low with the 284/ big cases. 300 win mag with 185 Berger will be good for easy 1200 . 6.5 creed does everything to 1400

Can’t see much for all the crops but Cubs should be up and about above ground by now then left to fend for themselves by august or September. Caught a fully grown one a few weeks back bringing food back but didn’t find where to . Trail cam just gets set of by the growing twigs etc .
