Rabbits v Hornady 52g V-Max (.222)
activeviii replied to Frenchieboy's topic in Sporting Shooting Videos
and you said v-max in title lol. Nice one frenchie. i do like my 222 with the 52 a-max -
Dave. I take very little to heart. I'm to easy going for that lol. Not a problem about the 501 I didnt realise so my bad. I have a 2 battery on here on the shelf. I think its the older 501D. No use to me at the moment. i did swap the glass to a DX and filed the sides to fit but i only ran it with a R2 white. sat here doing nothing now as the one im using now just offers a little more i think, saying that it still is a driver and LED mod and the pill needs the length changed. On the shelf means in my shed/workshop in the he box of other thinks I have tried. He he. I will try and get a photo up of a white, R2 XP with the glass dome taken off. Big difference between the two. In fact. I'll go do it now. Same for the XP red. It cuts the emitted light from a 1mm 80degree down to an unmeasured .5mm 20degree. Making more useable light hitting the lens and not bouncing off a reflector. On the the led I put a washer on the star and run a blade over to take the top of the dome off. No colour change just a tighter light. Not sure how this has done. I'm on the phone so it might be a little all over the place lol All the best Phil Not the best photo but its off the nexus phone. they are both in focus just a bad photo but it was the size more than anything. One on left is a XM-l chip and the right is a de-domed XP-E R2. they both had the same size square as start. the photo dosent really show the difference in brightness between the two but the Right one is very bright.

Not sure what you mean Dave. Im not selling them to open market. i have made 10 for friends, that's all im doing. I didnt think this was the For Sale area. just diy'er. oh well i learnt something else. Um new red LED, might I suggest you have a better look around matey there is one LED that is better than the XP-E 635nm. de-domed it runs even better. I have enough burnt out ones here. Nice work on the Copper turning by the way, hard stuff to turn. All the best Phil.

600 of each calibre now in the cabinet plus a few extra of the a-max. that will last a few months. just as well in not using for the 7x57 as i have none for them. -
With the small heads on the torch you will struggle to gather the available light to focus all of it to push the distances you require. Its not just a case of change drop in and add a lens. I have spent a fair amount of time and money getting the right combination of touch, head, lens, driver and LED. I have a hell of a lot of spares. one Chip comes out on top but to get the best you need to de-dome it, turn a new pill to get the correct back length for focus, modify the driver. then i will get 2 hours out of a 18650 battery and push 300 yards scope veiw and a lot more on eye shine. I have another one that runs on two 18650 batteries and the beam is as tight as a ducks butt. throwing red light to a stupid distance. a lot of work in modding but worth the effort. it sits on my shelf now as its as big as the nm800 but a 66mm lens. I have 10 single battery torches here all ready for friends, shame the uk charger order went wrong.lol.

This is going to make it intresting, as if its not hard enough to get my bullets as it is. Hornady Suspends Production of 150 Ammo Types and 150 Bullet Types for Balance of 2013 In order to increase deliveries of its most popular types of ammunition and bullets, Hornady announced that it will temporarily suspend production of 150 bullet types and 150 ammo types. IMPORTANT: These bullet and ammo products are NOT being discontinued. Rather, these less-popular, suspended items will simply not be produced for the remainder of 2013. By doing this, Hornady can reduce tool/machinery changes and thereby increase production of products in highest demand. On July 2nd, Hornady issued this statement: http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/

I believe he has 1" to play with. where is the measurement taken from. From what i have just heard, he it going to ask for a refund and then go to where he got his 243 cut.

i couldn't believe the guy lost the trigger spring and then had the audacity to charge the customer for a new one. the more I'm hearing and see, the more I'm glad i do not use the place.
-
He is going to test it today. i will let the guy whos gun it is tell you the whole story, unless he tells me to.lol. something about given the gun back in one hand and the trigger in bits in the other and then being charged for a new trigger spring because the shop lost it

Just had these photos sent to me from a friend. He has just had a thread cut by a gunshot in Gloucester. Paid a fair price for it so i would have expected it to be better than this. whats your thoughts. he had a few other issues as well but im not going into it. more just asking your thoughts on this cut job. Would you be happy?

'Race the Sun', action medical research for children
activeviii replied to Blunderbuss's topic in Off Topic
Best of luck dave. -
bought the misses a kindle a few years ago. she never put it down. I then bought her an Ipad, the kindle now is never used as the kindle account transferred to the Ipad. we have nexus 4 phones and the kindle is on them too. Im waiting for the Nexus 10 to have the upgrade like the new nexus 7. i find the 7 is to big to be a pocket pad and not big enough to sit and surf so it will be a 10 once their released.

Just to note, I bought one for my urika from pshq, it came from the states, even though I bought from a euro web site. I was charged the import duty. I mailed him and told him that items from Europe should have been vat free and I wasn't happy in paying the duty. He returned my costs.
