    ....live from north Staffordshire. The pyjamas still work (partly), the 457 takes its first fox (eventually) with some special help from a friend and his labradors he has just entered to retrieving fox's. So I screwed up somewhere with the 80yd off hand shot with a Remington HV HP and shot the vixen across her back hams smashing the off side rear leg. She made a wooded slang with wet bogs....I should of had my dog in the car! However I was 300 yards from a good friend so I phoned him. 1/2 hour later his dogs found it and we were both elated. With much gratitude we parted c

    It did, as long as I remembered to do the nose first!!

    I see it somewhat different. They are completely overpriced in my opinion! CNC machinery bang out all the parts. Your not paying for a quality handcrafted device, your paying for very expensive CNC machinery! I use to work next to daystate and visited the factory next door contracted to machine the parts. The regulator body was a few quid each. The air tubes and receivers machined in minutes. Pretty much everything was farmed out which is a very expensive way to run a business but heck people pay the extreme prices per unit so what the heck! I had a German 222 once. Firing

    I use my hedge cutters for my ear hair and a stainless steel decoking brush on the drill for my nose hair.

    I'll err stick to me torch. Switch it on, oh look a fox, switch it off. I'm selling my spotter. To much fuss.

    What? Trump is the sad one, your bursting with to much testosterone. Blokes with hair are carrying to much female hormones!

    Not much happening my way this year, little puzzling to be honest!

    A common issue today is that the extractor claws are stamped from steel sheet. Burrs from the punch an die are often left on the stamped parts. These burrs then impede on the free movement in the machined grooves in the bolt. My first port of call would be to remove the extractor spring. The extractors (note which one goes where because they may be different) and stone them flat one a fine wet stone.

    6.5x55 is a classic example of how a lot of free bore or bullet jump is NOT an issue. The Swede has a long throat in deferance of the original bullet, a long 160g bullet. So when it comes to loading 90g varmint bullets they are relatively miles away from the lands. My Swede with such bullets would stack them @100 if I behaved. Without my data I can't check the length but I bet the jump was 4mm plus! The only time I ever stuck bullets right out was with my 222's and 243's. With 100g bullets in the 243 I was after as much powder space for the creamy h4350 as I could get and pretty

    BSA 4x still here mate!

    Thems smart fox's. You suffer bald head syndrome as well then

    Good shot. Nicely played. Yep, I've had to do so back peddling over my attitude to HMR recently!

    Honest mate. .015" is tiny, 1/4 of a mm! I've seen lads get it slightly long/ wrong and end up with a ruined night or stalking weekend because they rammed a bullet in the throat and had no cleaning rod to dislodge it with!

    There loads of examples of rifles with loads of free bore still shooting tight groups. It's not opinion but fact. I don't have my reloading notes anymore but there was all sorts of experiments some of which had varying c.o.a.l and it often had little effect on accuracy. Just seat the bullet to where your rifle magazine dictates and develop from there with powder and primers. It is a common back peddle for first time reloaders to overlook the magazine limitations. That's why true bench rest rifles don't have magazines! Bench rest competitions....now there is a striving aft

    First off. A bullet touching the lands is not dangerous, just not practical, especially if the bullet gets stuck and remains in the throat during unloading the rifle. Actually a deep seated bullet increases pressure by limiting case volume and then hitting the lands. Second. The most accuracy is NOT found at the distance from the lands the EXPERT said at all. There are hundreds of factors that determines the best accuracy. Don't worry about it. Your magazine is a generic unit that covers all the short action cartridges. It possibly may have an insert piece that may be altered to

    One of the parameters for a military rifle or sidearm or what ever is it's ability to keep its integrity when say for example the barrel gets stuffed with mud. It's going to take some action and barrel to take the abuse the Sig cartridge will offer it in a blockage situation!

    They were made in Australia but ohlin closed up shop in Australia several years ago now. Can't remember the details.

    That's no good mate. I've got a 4x32 BSA scope doing nothing if you want it ?
  23. Sausagedog
    No sir, the old lambrettas and vespers were 2stroke.
  24. Sausagedog
    It's good right up to the point you are stuck behind them in a car and the poorly maintained 2stroke fumes act like tear gas on you!

    They are the good old ones. I dug a bullet out of the turf after taking a squirrel. It was expanded to around .35".
