  1. Dave hasn't let this info out yet.. After reading this again I looked on the viht reloading again tonite to see what the load Is for the 6.5x47 and they don't show one.. N160 is only slightly slower burning than H4350.. We are missing a trick here with them blistering velocities. I think the difference between the 47 and the creed is about 1mm
  2. Seems like John is well ahead of the game..!!
  3. There's several 338 lap mag variants that may float your boat but I'd imagine it gets complicated and more expensive for little gain.. I will look into it. I was instantly hooked after my first few shots on a 338 lap mag at 1800yds 😁. I didn't get around to getting one in the end as I changed direction.
  4. Them rifles are ugly full stop so a ugly bipod suits them 😁
  5. As always it's easier said than done.. 1 mile is a nice range and still a serious challenge.. I've had a go and loved it using a Barrett 98B which has a twist rate of 9.7 ish.. it shot the 300gr scenars great I watched one of UKV's former users Mike Roberts on the KO2M series with I think his 50 cal and he didn't hit the 1550yd target with 5 shots..!! I've watched him shooting his 50 at F range at sennybride ok.. The wind is hard at Raton and shooting uphill maybe another obstacle.. I'm not familiar with the problems of that though.. 2 miles is literally a long shot and luck is the biggest factor...
  6. If you were gonna use a high energy powder you just aswell use RS60. The few times I tried some it shot really well..!!
  7. I watched a video on YouTube a few months ago looking for some king of 1 mile stuff but only found one and it was a woman shooting a 300wsm and I think a 212gr ELDX's to good effect.. 1 mile is probaly harder than you think as we don't get many calm days.. I'd be up for seeing some small 1800yds group targets if your brave enough 😉
  8. The king of 1 mile would be a good place to get things going.. I'd definately be intrested in that and getting a big 30 cal or 338lap mag 😁
  9. I watch the KO2M regularly. Load of series on YouTube
  10. I think it will be worth making a call Monday. Cheers Rich
  11. Not getting paid for doing it they call it voluntary work 😉😁. Volunteer work is still work and not recreational 👍
  12. You only live once..!! Go on treat yourself as you need it 😉
  13. That just scare mongering. You going out to do crop protection or predation on lambs etc should not go against your firearms license if you were pulled going to do what you have been issued the license for...!! These things are classed as essential and your a key worker and play your part on the farm for the landowner whether your paid or not.!! I bet 99 percent of us that have our licenses are unpaid..!! Why does being paid too do it make any difference..?? Your carrying out things that the firearms people has granted the use of your firearms for..!! If you are alone I can't see that's its a problem.. 99.9 percent of the time I hunt alone.. That's my thought on it right or wrong....
  14. I gagging to go out and shoot at some mid too long range targets 😫. I need a fix badly 😂. One shot at a fox isn't gonna cut it at the mo 🙄🤣
  15. That was a cracking shot if the fly was there 😁🕷
  16. 😁 I've had some longish kills but i use bigger calibre.. I once had 2 consecutive 630yd rabbits with a 6.5-06 with 140gr amaxs.. The amaxs are some of the finest hunting bullets I've ever used.. I launch the 162gr amaxs in my 284 and there superb.. A bit harsh on roe sometimes.. There better from past 250yds. Nice shot OOT2 😎
  17. That would of been a flesh wound 😁. Maybe buggs would of had a sore throat for a couple of days 😉
  18. A POO23 at 700yds in a 10mph wind 😳 That must a luckiest shot ever made 😆 You must of woke up just after the shot went off in your dream 😉 If I were you I'd buy a lottery ticket 😁. Tell us another 😆😉
  19. There a S111 8-32x56 LR illuminated scope on fullbore UK for £775
  20. Reading the different interpretations and having a expert in firearms admin must of thrown some light on the subject for many.. I learnt lots of things 👍
  21. If your are just a target shooter then you have to be a member of a club to get an FAC which is the main thing and hopefully your taught the basic safety rules gun handling before you go to other ranges too shoot. Your comments in the last paragraph would make things even more complicated for target shooters.. Let's not 👍
  22. Ok Chris. That will be possible as I've several different worn brushes bronze and some nylon ones I could do that 👍 I did smoother some JB paste over a naked nylon brush and worked that up n down the bore too. As the throat got shinnier it must of polished it to a fashion 👍
  23. Without looking at my FAC I think the restrictions was too do with only shooting target ammo as long as i was a member of a club.. Those rules are a bit daft as you could always buy target ammo without doing the face to face thing and you could only buy expanding stuff like that until recently.. There are some strange rules that make no sense to most of us the way the terminology explains things.. wording that only law solicitors could decipher.. Thanks for your contribution to trying answer these questions 👍
