In all fairness I did start loading to save money and that I did. 222 with a Lee reloader, hammer and block of wood. Start load shot very well and amax were cheap. Cost £18 for the reloader thing and that was all I had. 28p a round it cost me and I was cloverleaf at 100. Then more guns started to appear in the cabinet and the reloading started to build. I enjoy chasing the perfect load and most of the loadings are on the money now. But it has cost.

As fruitloop says. Go back .5 of a grain and load a batch with .2 of a grain differance. So if you happy load is 44gn of powder then step back and load 43.5gn, 43.7gn 43.9gn 44.1gn 44.3gn 44.5gn and 44.7gn Start at bottom load and work up. Allow time for everything to cool down between groups. If bltl starts getting tight or the primer is showing a crowning around the pin dink then ,stop, do not go up any more unless you have someone qwith you who know what their looking for on over pressure. Once you find the best group you then move on to OAL. This is when you adjust the bullet press depth by a small amount in and out till you Ind the sweet spot. I use to start at max chamber length and bump bullet seat back .2mm this was my start point. Then .2mm back until I got to sammi spec. Then once you have the sweet spot you go back to powder and adjust .5gn back from you powder load and work .5gn past in .1gn increment's Once you have done all that you need to go back to shop and by another 500 bullets. New tub of powder and primers and do it all again because you have differant batch numbers and things might have changed. One you do all that you then realise you have in fact spent more on the reloading gear and consumables than what 500 factory load would have cost. Then you realise that in fact a 1/2" group is more than good enough and in fact bullet seated back to sammi spec and the .5gn load you first fund was more than good enough and you was just having an off day from excitement of shooting your first home load. I think most of the above has been done by many many a home loader and the ones that could be bothered to rear it all are laughing as they did just the same

I watched last week. Its OK. I dont read books and then watch the films as I get confused easy and find I compare the two in wrong light. Not going to spoil it but its not really sniper. Also knowing what we do about scopes, wind drop I found myself laughing at parts.

Not played with bog oak but will one day. On the tang handle all I do is tale two wood scales, and lay the tang on one and drill though the tang and scale then put other half on so you can drill wood tang and other scale. Then put pin in tang hole and one half of wood so you can mark it. Do same on other half. Thank with a dremel you route out the wood of two half. Test fit with pins and scales. If it fits nicely two pack glue and clamp. One dry get shaping.

adding .17hmr to license help needed with form
activeviii replied to d.kenny's topic in Guns & Equipment
if its not for range use and you have no need at the moment then you are not showing need so be prepared to loose your slots that are not needed. Might needed it one day, is not a good reason. If you need to ask what to write then it would seam that you gun collecting rather than needing. If you need a hmr then One for one on one of the spare slots then if/when you need differant calibre at a later date the use one of your other slots, if you have filled all the slots then pay the £26 for extras. -

Seams to be the general tread of past with Clive. Order, wait, phone,email phone again and then speak to him over on nvforum and items turns up next day. Can't ever fault the goods when they arrive and I really hope his web site and ordering process has improved as I like the guy and would buy from again

A tikka or a remi. That's a very easy choice. Don't forget the optiloc rings for your tikka.
