No i deer

I tried a viht book load that was hot.. N540 behind a 123 grainer in my 6.5x47.. Can't remember offhand but it was doing about 3000fps and a tight bolt lift..

I did hear the other day Nigel had 280kg of RS70 in stock

A shooting mate sent me this message

Hi Laurie. Maybe I heard wrong then if 3100fps sounds too fast.

There 155.5s are going much faster that that.. Over 3100fps I believe

I don't know what load they use with the 155s but I do know that some shoot them very well and rate them highly.. I must know you geek if you shoot the gbfca league.. I know most of the f class who go on ukv and occasionally come across some I didn't.. Have we met..?

I think it's called the Alex Wheeler method.. 3 thousandths seating depth increments work for me..!!

I know most of the competitive f class shooters in the UK and their probaly some of the best reloaders around. My f open guns are competitive and i don't run on the edge as they don't need too.. An extra 50fps plus will see just a few millimetres gain so there's no point.

Newfi may have some new norma cases if you message him.

Is it a tight necked chamber..??

The last time I did a variation with Avon and Somerset constabulary it took 4 months.. Really poor service.. If they haven't got enough staff then vet and train more up.. If 2 staff suddenly decide their going too leave then what...!! Being that far behind is too much pressure for them all the time..

I've shot along side this rifle and it's very accurate 👍

The likely hood is the more expensive ammo will work best Richie.

This was happening all through the winter. The gun still shot really nice. It's shot loads of groups like this

I've been finding the same using eley match in CZ452.. There ment too be subsonic. The first shot always seems too be a cracker

A bronze brush on a cordless screwdriver will keep the carbon clear in the neck area at the end of the case mouth clean

I opted for the Lee trimmer system as its easy.. You could/I could trim too 2.030 if I wanted but my l e Wilson ultimate trimmer is set up for my 7mm 270 which I do trim 5 thousandths less off the max trim length. My saum has done about 1750 shots so far and still shooting nicely.. I'd be happy to make 2000 shots before I retire it.. Shooting the long-range challenge in a couple of weeks which reaches from 1000 out too 1200yds.. The 184s have served me well out that far

I use a Lee 7mm 08 trimmer pilot and shell holder to trim too 2.025

What bullet and speed are you running.. With a 180gr berger hybrid from a 30 inch barrel 3000fps would be a higher node.. A 184gr hybrids 2950fps is the velocity it likes.. It will hold good accuracy too about 3000fps but it's hard on brass and you get ejector marks

Accuracy is the most important.. Go with the lowest ES/SD and adjust the seating depth to find the sweet spot.. Go 3 thousandths increments not to miss it. You can still get good accuracy from a 30fps ES.. The target will tell you what you need too know 👍

Probably a berger manual

The flags can lie as well as Elwood says see if they tell the truth.. The flags will tell you one thing and the mirage will tell you another. Sometimes there going in different directions 🤔😉

Rightfully so 👍

I've not had a 308 since the ELDM's come out.. I can tell you that the 7mm 180gr eldms are very accurate but my saum has blown a few up.. I've tried lots of different Amax bullet of various calibre and found them all excellent..

Forget looking for berger bullets... Rocking horse poo would be easier too find.. 185gr juggs would be your best alround bullet but you won't find many if any..!! An ELDM's with there ballistic tip will serve you well.. Amaxs will too..
