thanks.

Gents I need to talk to my FAO about a couple of things and while Im about it I'd like to sound out putting another rifle on my ticket,  Ideally I want something that can shoot out to 2 miles (at eskdalemuir) but  I feel it would be easier to justify if I'm also able to shoot it at Bisley, (im a local) so a .338Lapau is out.

What calibre whould you suggest?

>>>The book and pay online system is miles better than hanging around in the range office,

Isnt it just!  If anyone from the NRA reads this please dont go back to the old system.

Guys Im thinking of selling all my old mixed 6.5CM brass and starting afresh so I know where i am with shot count etc..,

I quite fancy trying Peterson LRP Brass, now its £48.95 for 50 but only £394.95 for 500. I need 250, so if i were to get 500 would anyone be interested in the other 250 at cost?  

Just testing the water here, no promise Ill go ahead but it does seem savings can be made in bulk buying. (I wonder if it works for Powder as well)

I see its back on tommorow,  never been before,  is it worth a look? 

Cheers

Martin

Timney trigger for Howa1500. 

Packet has been opened but the trigger never fitted, ( I learned to love the HACT trigger!) 

£90 posted.

Not the highest quality,  but a perfect fit 😀

thanks,.. I do mesure the internal case volume and put that into quickload. Also with the .223's im very conservative with my reloads , my M55 has its 1 in 12 origonal barrel, so im only loading for a 300m max distance.

Thanks

So i shot 300m electronic this AM, with the purpose of using up some .223 rounds I'd made a while ago ( in lockdown ) with not my prefered powder. 

Anyway  my rounds, while slow, were pretty consistant and I managed to get 3 "electronic" touching 5 shot groups, which i was happy with.  I then switched over to some Bisley bought magtech ammo and it was all over the place,  still within the 4 ring I'd say, but  vertical and  horizontal edges,  is this typical of cheap factory ammo?

Me too..!

Bosis used to do them and if you have £15K+ im sure they would make you one 😀 Im certain a UK manafacture used to make one as well ( MacNab, Mc Naughton?) 

At the other end of the scale Bikal do them, I had a 16G game gun  once weighed more than a 12B trap gun but fun.  Please let me know if you find any, Id be very interested.

Thanks,

As it happens some guy called I. Revenue seems to be after all my money so before I pay him I’ve bought myself an early Xmas present.

PS  and dont get me started on his mate H.M.R.C

So an anealing system should be high on my Christmas list?

Thanks

It's near enough with a 308, so it should be fine.

Thanks

Gents.

Can I check my 1000m scope setting  on a 6.5CM using the 7.62 Bisley Zero target?  Im not worried about exact settings just so dont bust the electronic target. 

Hi 

Has anyone any creative ideas for Rifle die storage?  I'd thought about getting some holes drilled in a "butchers block" piece of wood, but that proving harder than i thought. 

I suppose I could resort to the used ice cream tub, but i was wondering if there was anything more suitable? 

Sothing like this would be ideal, but they dont seem available in the UK.

As I said before, Lapua brass is the best.

Unless you load to max pressure, you’ll get 20x reloads off each price of brass (especially if annealing)  before it gets scrapped.

Here for £109 per 100

Thanks for this, I may well invest in some.  

Norma Creedmoor Brass seems to be £178 for 100, if I shoot 20 to 30 in an hour that’s a fair few beer tokens.  For competition or precision shooing I fully understand what you say, but when all I’m trying to do is let off a bit of steam and not hit the electronics, “free” brass does have its advantages 🙂
