I already have the two knifes mentioned

which would you all go for in a grab bag , either the Wilkinson sword survival knife or the tom brown tracker ? I'm leaning towards the tom brown because I can put survival kit in the bag so it doesn't need to be on the knife?

(yes I'm bored.....)

Ammo

Ammo ? In UK supermarkets !

Tbh ammo is the one thing I won't be worrying about !

fags and booze , simple

interestingly my finnfire varmint loves eley subsonic HP as well

 

I always have 2 Israeli banadages and 2 packs of Quikclot Gauze in my shooting bag - I think most people scale their kit for trying to stabilise a gunshot wound with the kit equivalent of trying to manure a 10 acre field with a fart.

I have field dressings in my shooting kit , plus more in my car which is never generally far away when shooting. interestingly we did a risk assessment for range shooting at my club and a doctor we had in the club at the time said that there was a greater need for an AED/first aid training than field dressings because with the membership demographic a heart attack was more likely to need to be dealt with than a gunshot wound ?

as for edc , I have a grab bag in my car but on my person I generally have a knife , torch , lighter when outdoors . the grab bag is kept in a cubby hole in the boot of my car and is accordingly difficult to access , this should show the police that I do not intend to use it's contents for evil doings!

plus 1 for the lundhags !

I've got some eley in the cupboard but they don't work anymore (light up) so i'd be up for a group buy as well and this time I would use them sooner as they don't seem to have a great shelf life?

I'd love to need this ...........

Riflecraft for my rifle stuff but don't go if your sensitive or lack a sense of humour !

Syss when I had a flirtation with 10-22 s ,very knowledgeable

The country store at sawston get me a lot of my components , great guys

I refrain from using the below shops because I was brought up to say nothing if you've nothing nice to say

Roding armoury

Jackson rifles

Fenland rural sports

Head in hands muttering about axes .............

What about a laminated blade ? Lovely carbon steel centre with a stainless outer , best of both worlds !

If you really can't get oil then how about animal fat ? Or some sort of grease , I wonder how they did it in the Iron Age ?

Maintain your weapon !

I did a bit of subsonic stuff with my 308 (original barrel 1-10) i tried everything with mk bullets even backwards like bruce tried and just couldn't get it to work! nearly gave up but as a last resort tried some 180g round nose flat base bullets i had kicking about , perfect ! hovering around the moa at 100m , silent with the mod on and low low recoil, a lot more fun than you'd think!

i used unique in the end because trailboss etc wasn't available then but i do have a pot now and i'm intending to give it a try soon?

i tried drilling flashholes etc but found it made no difference so scrapped those cases (very important you don't mix them up with normal cases)

DTA are correct with the shooting procedure without the can on to check for projectile stability , this is a very important step and if you change anything , re-run the test again!

if your going to shoot foxes then be aware that these rounds ricochet far worse than normal HV stuff and they won't expand they will just drill if you understand what i mean?

best of luck it really is great fun!

Oh great , I'm gonna have to suss out how to post pictures now!

Varget for both , 24.2g in the 223 with a 75g Amax (mines a 1-8 Sako) and 45g in the 308 with a 168 Amax . Having said that I've used the vit powders a lot in other rifles and have never been disappointed ?
