Selling for a friend is not allowed by the forum rules

Not if they're insured through NRA or NSRA. There are FAC rules pertaining to youngsters but they are not a problem for clubs using club equipment.

I'm not sure clubs are anti-youngsters; We want youngsters at our club and do have some, problem is keeping their interest when they're teenagers. We used to run a youth section and it was well attended but not one graduated to the adult section. It was before my time so I don't fully know why but it wasn't because of any resistance from the adults. Joining a club that's full of +50yr old "grandads" isn't very appealing I guess. We strive to attract younger members (our club is free to under 16s and 50% concession for over 16s but in education), the truth is that the younger generations have been brought up with, if not fear of, certainly negative feelings towards shooting.

You may like to try Berger 185's at 1000yds. May change your mind about a 6.5CM 😉

what bullets Ralph ?

6.5 Creedmoor is certainly v. good for 1000yds, much less drop and significantly better wind performance than .308. Brass is more expensive, especially Lapua SRP but that evens out over many reloadings. That said I still enjoy .308 with 185gr Bergers at 1000yds. I shoot Berger 144gr Hybrid from SRP Lapua with RS62. Seems like cheating after shooting my .308 😅 Why do you say MRR rifling lasts "much longer than traditional rifled barrels" ? Is there evidence for this or just manufacturer's hyperbole ?

picture please

If it's a commercial range operation they should provide the insurance for 3rd party risk

Fixed for me

I've read the website and I've made my own Plot-o-Matic. Looking forward to trying it out and trying not to confuse myself!

I think he's referring to the one SPRPC set up in a farmer's field that was closed down soon after

same here, website problem

Well, it is good service but there's often tails of Vortex scopes needing to be repaired so I wonder if 'make them cheap and repair as required' is the business plan?

Glad it's getting fixed. Useful feedback

If this is what this forums' coming to, I've had enough. You are a total pr1ck

Generally it's advised to get the scope as low as you can without the bell of the scope touching the barrel etc. It's a compromise at the end of the day, a good cheek weld and a comfortable scope picture in the shooting position you mostly use.

That's a pretty dickish thing to write. Your "advice" to post powder unlawfully is just plane stupid and you're called out on it -reasonably in my opinion

well said

Contact Kelly at training.nra.org.uk, There's nothing on the website as yet (as of yesterday). I have the Code of Practice and the training pack can be purchased. I have received that this morning and it's very comprehensive, we intend to use their programme to train our members.

I agree with you. I have ordered a copy of their training materials to assess for our club. The Code of Practice is only what one would assume was done so signing up to that isn't going to be contentious except for those that load .308 above 4500J without declaring HME etc

Agree with the above. And if you're a target shooter I'd add make sure you log the firearm on any range log and your good I believe

She's very good George

Get an up to date manual like Lyman 50th Edition, internet info is no substitute especially when starting out. As Durham Shooter says above, maybe think about attending a reloading course

Some TR types at Bisley are convinced they suffer "passive concussion" from other people's brakes. Not sure that would stand up to any medical opinion especially compared to being about 26" from their own muzzle and when competing, many, many others. Having said that, I've not had any negativity from others when shooting at Bisley with my club
