    4895, 4895, 4895, 4895, 4895, 4895. Oh how we loved it.  How we miss it's  passing.  Still I've got a bit laid by.  I ain't got my back against the wall but 4895 developed a high energy which isn't  matched by comparable burn speeds.  H4895 has a very high specific energy rating for a single-base powder, at 4,060 KJ / Kg which isn't matched by comparable burn speed powders.  Still I  built this load so I'm sure I can assemble another match given time, money and effort.  I think Wilson does Lovex  powders which might be similar.

    sea water freezes at about -2○C  ...Google.?

    4895 was a wonderful powder indeed. 

    Sea temp here varies between 8c and 6c all year, a big body of water rarely varies, I use a floatation suit when out, puts my survial rate up from 15 mins to 2 hours if I end up overboard, canny swim so is a bonus too ?

  6. whats the opinion on the browning rifles,223 ..

    Only the t-bolts have nice shiney gold triggers, I looked at the stainless, x-bolt but was heavy so got the ab3 synthetic stock, replaced the sear spring and the trigger is a lot lighter but still plastic, wish I'd gone for the x-bolt now, was only £300 more. I do like browning barrels, made in Japan but accuracy I've never seen the like of. 

    Edits, I only have it in 308win though. No use here for a 223

    The ab3 states 4 shot, but my mag holds 5 an one up the spout so it's a 6 shot ?

    Which Vacuum Sealer?

    Amazon's scaring the shit out of me! There's pages of them. Prices are all over the place.

    What do I look for? Recommendations? Obviously, I'll examine any short list for the possibility ~ no matter how fukking slim ~ of avoiding chink shit!

    Thanks.

    I just got a James Martin one for £20 a few years ago.

    Get the rolls not bags, a lot cheaper, just seal the bottom cut what length you need and Robert's your mother's brother ?

    We use the plastic takeaway type boxes - you can get them in different sizes, usually pretty cheap.

     

    If I make a pie, I just wrap it in the ceramic dish and put that in the freezer.

    Snap ? I just save a couple whenever we get a chinky.

    favicon.ico Which is the best.17 HMR bolt-action rifle? - Shooting UK

    WWW.SHOOTINGUK.CO.UK
    This review pits the Sako Quad Synthetic, CZ Synthetic Silhouette, Browing T-Bolt Synthetic and...

     

    The t-bolt comes out top in that! 

    It's all personal preferance, I really can't fault mine, accuracy is what counts at the end of the day, both the lr and hmr t-bolts I have have excellent accuracy.

     Did I ever mention shiney gold trigger ?

    If you like a Browning Trigger fair play , but they are shite,  every person I know who had bought one , got rid of it straight away .. In comparison a Tikka T1x is similar money and much better ..

    The only trigger I didn't like on a Browning was the ABIII, I got a new sear spring from a bloke in oz, postage was more than the bloody spring, but that sorted it, so it was nice and crisp.

    I'm happy with the T-bolts (I still try turning the bolts though ?), proves its just each to they're own. I have had far worse ? did I mention the time ............. ?
