    If you need to order in, worth a box of 52 a-max. Work nicely on fox and can be mail-ordered. Failing that, v-max, Nosler ballistic tip or Sierra blitzking all work well. Don't discount lighter bullets in the 1:9 twist, I had an SPS Tactical for a bit, shot everything.

    Lee's perfectly decent for all but the most accurate ammo. If you're just reloading for field work and maybe the odd target, it's perfectly good stuff. Lee turret press isn't the very finest, but it will get you going and allow you enough of your £250 for dies at least. I've not bought a press for a while so not sure on the exact pricing at the moment.

    I am stil here. From time to time!

    I sold mine and bought a Howa instead. That shot really well with 95gr Hornady SSTs over 46gr H4831SC. You could try some OAL experimentation but personally I think you'll do better with a new rifle or a new barrel.

    I would anyway, but which bit of legislation is this please? Lifted from the British Deer Society website. Ric Don't suppose I can trouble you for a link please?

    varget or h4895 would also work there.

    I already said it's not illegal and quoted the Firearms Act. What more do you want?

    Codpiece, why don't you just go f**k yourself? I am honestly so sick and tired of your shit it is unbelievable.

    Can you not read? I said .3 MOA! That's not 0.1MOA, which is very different. If you don't believe me, come over to Reading and I'll show you. Ammunition transfer is only shown on the recipient's FAC, with the originating FAC used as authority to own. If my mate sticks around while I make his ammo, no transfer is required as he's bought all his components!

    My SPS tactical never shot a load worse than about 1 MOA. It shot many loads considerably better than that. Not sure why that is so hard to comprehend. I don't shoot .1MOA groups very often at all. My CZ shoots .3MOA with the right load on the right day when I do my bit. It's not a fluke as it's been done several times, but it's not every group, either. The worst ones are about .5 MOA. My CZ is not a factory rifle that occurs all the time, I freely admit that, but it is true, and it is a very good rifle!

    You're doing what I couldn't and making a Remington SPS Tactical shoot straight?!<BR><BR>Mine shot .2-.5 MOA with 69gr Lapua Scenar and a reasonably stiff load of AA2230. I'd say that was shooting straight. Oh, and while we're there, that was the very first load I ever tried. But since I had 2 x 223s, I played with other loads for other reasons.<BR><BR>My most accurate rifle is my CZ 527 American. It has had no modifications whatsoever, except I adjusted the trigger so it's very nice. It has a plastic stock which is utterly awful, and cost £400. It should be awful, but

    The 243 is deer legal in England and Wales with all loads which exceed 1700 ft/lbs. In Scotland, it must have 100gr bullet for everything bigger than roe. Let's get the facts straight
  14. Mr_Logic
    243 will work with the right bullet, of that I have no doubt given the number of red deer which die each year due to a 243 bullet in the heart. However, if I was out for reds, I'd take my 308.

IIRC it was a Ruger M77 in .223. I still have my range book here. My first attempt was with 21 grains of H322 and a 55 grain V-max. I had no idea about twist rates or powders

    And that's the point. You aways know better. I took a brand new Remington 700 SPS tactical in .308 up the range this morning. The rifle is new, never had a round shot through it. I have never reloaded for the rifle or any other 700's. I bore sighted the rifle before going up the range. First three shots, .8MOA 6" low. Next three shots bang on the bull, .7MOA. Reloading isn't full of arcane myth and magic as you would have people believe and it's not full of guess work either. Your inexperience and ignorance will lead you to where ever you go and that's fine. I and many others will choose

    Trawl through the web, through advice given to many due experience with their own rifles. There's a lot of folk saying their 1:10 243 doesn't like 100 gr. Hell, neither of mine did. Deker's doesn't, it's not rare for this to be the case!
  19. Mr_Logic
    I have put the 95 SST to very good use, does not do any more meat damage than most 6mm deer bullets, and is very accurate.
  20. Mr_Logic
    Nope, never said there was. But there IS debate about the length for 100gr bullets matching a 1:10 twist, because on many rifles they simply will not shoot that type of bullet!
  21. Mr_Logic
    Codpiece, I do think you need to read my post.... I have not said you said that! 223 had no wildcat in its lineage 308 had no wildcat in its direct lineage Both were designed cartridges, 223 from the 222 which was a commercial design, and 308 from 30-06 which was the previous military cartridge. Both are very different from, say 22-250, which was brought about by a load of people playing around.
  22. Mr_Logic
    Obviously stabilisation is based on length. But here's a thing... I have 55, 70, , 85, 95, 100 grain bullets in my cupboard for 6mm, and funnily enough the length increases with the weight. 1:10 twist prefers lighter bullets as a rule, and there simply aren't nice short 100 grain ones. Yes for sure the length varies, but they are on the longer side of the 6mm bullets available. And 1:10 doesn't like the longer ones, as a general rule - there are exceptions. Hence my accurate statement that 1:10 generally prefers a lighter (thus shorter) bullet. i do wish you'd stop spouting maths to a

    Hey Ric, well i may be jumping the gun a little (pardon the pun) i just want to get some bits "sorted". I mainly want Lapua as its the dogs really (from what ive read), and should in theory last longer than others. As for shooting factory, i was thinking of getting some Prvi to start..... as it will be a 1/10 twist bullet weights should be in the 170-200 grains. So i would try PPU Prvi for around 50-60 squids per 100! Thats a cheap way to get range time just a heads up prvi 308 doesnt chamber in every rifle so dont buy 100 to start.Ive seen it in a brand new remy 700sps and a brand new
  24. Mr_Logic
    HZ, not sure which cave you dragged that pointless tidbit from, but 1:10 twist is not ideal for 100gr in a 243, it is much better suited to more like -85 gr. 100gr much more reliable in a 1:91/8 or 1:91/4 twist of savage or Remington. 1:10 sometimes works with 100gr, sometimes not. This is common knowledge, borne out by many people over many years with many bullets. It is more useful than theory.
  25. Mr_Logic
    Good for a laugh, this thread... Wildcats for 223 , 243 and 308... 308 was a developed round for the military, as was 223, nothing to do with wildcats. Yes, the 243 was a wildcat, and tbh I wish they'd never bothered as it would mean we aren't arguing about it all the time. Clearly then all wildcats are rubbish As a specific deer calibre, it's a little lacking due to normal twist of 1:10, which is ideal as a midweight bullet twist. if they were all 1:9, then it would be a good deer calibre as 100gr bullets would normally work. Hey ho. But here's a thing, it will kill anything you ask
