It would work but you would more than likely hit pressure before you got to a reasonable and competitive speed. A few years ago I tested it in a .284 Win and while accuracy was fantastic I couldn't get to a sensible velocity for serious competition, 2770 fps.

Another problem to take into account is that IMR powders aren't known for being particularly temperature stable.

All the Hawke scopes work well with the 007

I'm keen to find out more about the C50. I believe the release date was supposed to be early Nov, but nothing as of yet.

Im particularly interested in how it compares to the Wulf 4K.

Yes very happy, and very easy to do online.

Thinking about it I might even do one for myself.

Forster make one for the Co Axe.

I have used this company to make me carry bags for the Seb Joypod and Seb mini. You design it and they make it.

Believe it or not I managed to have a look through a Wulf a few nights ago! It seemed to be quite good for the money. Unfortunately The only other digital night vision that I have looked through to judge it by was a Drone Pro, not surprisingly the DP eclipsed it by some margin. The owner of both the DP and the Wulf did a test in daylight where the results were reversed.

Im sitting tight and will await the opinions on both the Pulsar C50 and Wulf 4K.

I think you will find it's done on the size of the job, difficulty levels, hazards, level of infestation etc

Very informative, thanks.  I will be keeping a look out for the Webster hardness tool.

Thanks for the replies.

I've recently built an induction annealer and have also found a cheap portable hardness tester that allows me to measure the hardness of the brass at the neck of the case before and after annealing to ensure that the hardness has dropped to near the same as it is for new (annealed) brass.

in a couple of days there will be a YouTube video showing the annealer and hardness tester .

I'll post a link when it goes live

 

Cheers

I will look forward to watching it.

Can anyone give a rough guide of the 2nd hand price? The tube is a old gen 3, it isn't spotless but at the same time it's pretty good. It has a side switch that opens and closes a shutter, this means that it can be used in twilight conditions without damaging the tube, a very handy feature when your intended quarry arrives a bit earlier than anticipated.

I have a quantity of each, £38 per 1lbs tub, but I will go lower for more than several tubs.

PM's only if you're genuinely interested.

Face to face only, I'm often at Bisley or could possibly make arrangements for Diggle.

Just got hold of a Sako75 6mm ppc. I've got 58gr v-max, new Norma brass and Viht n-133. Just wondering if anyone had an idea what the max recommended powder load would be? 

Also at some point I'd like to try a heavier bullet through it! Just wondering what people would recommend? It's a 1 in 12 twist? 

Many thanks for any help you can give!

That's my combination, I'm using 29.2 grains of N133, this isn't a max load but probably not far off, obviously start lower and work up.

Odd twist for 180 gr projectiles, although it will work as 1-8 twists work fine. It will be interesting to see how it shoots, hopefully he will give you/us a progress report.

How much for the tyre? 😂

I have been using the dull glow (cherry red) for quite a few years now, and I only look for it inside the neck, I find it is very repeatable once you know what to look for, you have to be very very vigilant as the case leaves the flame. This normally coincides with what I believe is called burn off and the flame changes colour. Years ago this was said to be to hot, but if you watch the Benchsource annealing video this is exactly what happens.

I did a test a few years ago with brass annealed at 3 different temperatures and tested I believe at 600 yards, the third set of cases I expect 99% of people would have said they were over annealed (if only I had made a video) I will have a search for it, although I was informed that my test groups of 5 shots for each temperature were not enough.

Scope is sold pending funds.

£750 plus post.

Sorry not open to offers, not unless you have a March High Master you want to swop!

That would be a sure fire way of affecting the NRA's financial status, IMHO.

Seeings as membership is only the cost of 100 rounds of factory .303 ammo, I don't think a 50% rebate would be of much financial significance too many shooters, if any, and would be better spent keeping the NRA going. 

Shooting is an expensive sport and the relative costs of licensing and membership are small in comparison. If someone needed an extra £40 back then shooting is probably the wrong sport for them.

I agree re TV Licensing, but it isn't the same. NRA membership is optional

Nail head hit.

N160

N165

RL 23

RS 62 & 70

With a 26 inch barrel I would be looking at the quicker powders, like N160, RS 62 and RL23
