Take them, too far for me to travel.

I'd have it but I don't get to Bisley much these days.

Yes pleased so far, need to change primer as I had a few click, very short pause and then bang and a few click no bang (7 out of thirty cartridges). Using Murom KVB-7M, after the first click delay I remembered why I stopped using them as I had a similar problem with my first 300NM loads, decided to go with the KVB-7M's as I only had 200 Federal 215's left, I've bought another 1000 Feds this afternoon.

Very impressive; we’re there any obvious accuracy nodes as you would normally see?

Not looking for a node, the barrel run in rounds were doing 3090 FPS and were pretty much all touching. The Flatliners were single shots looking for pressure signs the first 3 were touching but the last two were slightly higher than the previous 3.

impressive velocity. 

Yes, only need 36.50 MOA to get to a Mile.

Well the morning went well, managed to run the barrel in with the ELDs and my five Flatliners gave 3089 FPS with 117 grains of RS80 up to 3387 FPS with 125 grains of RS80, no pressure signs on the case an still room for more powder.

Look at these beauties, 285 Grain Hornady ELD-M on the left and a Warner Flatline 285 Grain on the right. The behind the ELDs are 115 grains of RS80 (RL33) and I have 5 Flatline loaded in 2.0 increments from 117 grains to 125 grains of RS 80 as per David Tubbs advice, there is still room in the case for more powder. The ELDs are to run the barrel in as they are only £1.00 per bullet not including case powder and primer, the Flatlines are £2.50 each and currently unobtainium in the UK.

The beast is ready.

1 in 9 twist, hoping for between 3200 and 3400 fps.

Well 33XC gets first outing on Sunday. Going to start off with 122 grains of RS80 behind a Warner Flatline 285 grain bullet seated 0.010" into the lands.

I'm interested in this Tiff. 

He's not Tiff.

Well I'm not after an uncomfortable rattle wagon so the new Defender looks ok to me, maybe don't knock it until you have tried it.

Had a two hour test drive today, must say I was impressed did does not handle like my Ranger Rover Velar but the ride was smooth and surprisingly little wind noise when on the dual carriage way at near top end.

Very nice.

Very nice.

He is still about and he shot at a steel gong event late last year with something like a ".20 Practical' his bullets were doing over 4000 fps.

RS60

Well good luck when you get to give it a go.

Thanks for the reply BoltHead, that was very helpful info and now I understand. I have much to learn in my build-up to trying CSR. 😀

Haven't you already tried it?

I’m sorry, I don’t know. I don’t own an AIAX, so can’t say if the forend is Keymod like the sides are or not.

Best you ask Baldie for what he thinks works best. 👍

Do you own an Area 419 Arcalock rail?

I have a Area 419 Arcalock rail on my T2k, I don't tend to use the Barricade stop but locking the bipod or bag in place is a good feature to have.

Less slidey is perfect.

Do you often slam your barricade stop against an obstacle?

If you use the Area419 ARCA clamp, there is a section of the clamp that fits within the ‘toothed’ slots when you clamp down. So it still slides, ARCA as normal when loosened. When tightened, the ‘teeth’ engage, a bit like mini picatinny.

The Area419 ARCA rail can be used with other ARCA mounts, thy just won’t engage the ‘teeth’ of the rail ‘tis all.

But how does it provide "extra rigidity" over a non-toothed rail?  The Arca clamp does not slide up and down the rail (as long as its an Area 419 clamp with pins fitted) but the teeth don't make it more rigid.

"It is ‘toothed’ to provide extra rigidity"

Eh? How do the 'teeth' make it more rigid?
