    Out tonight to complete stalk #2 for DSC2. A pleasant stalk, despite the wind, through a nice valley where a good sized buck wanders out at 40yds. He hadn't seen me and the wind was quartering so I didn't have long to get the sticks deployed and get on it. He was licking his nose a lot, sensing something on the wind and then he move about two paces before lifting his head for another sniff. BANG! A 140 grain Nosler partition dropped him on the spot, not even a kick, nice . He was a nice size with a good interesting head. The gralloch went smoothly and all was good. Just one more to

    The first book I got was ABC's of Reloading. Loads of info and a good base for further reading. Have a search for it on amazon, relatively cheap and free postage Another vote for this book - ideal for the novice. Also U Tube have some very good vids on reloading - especially by Ammosmith Yet another for the ABC's of reloading. Richard Lee's book of Modern Reloading is good too, I also have the Hornady book and the Lyman one too. All give you a step by step guide of what to, and not to, do! I have the Lee kit with one or two RCBS add ons. Many world records are held or ha

    Rifle by a long chalk. I just can't seem to get into the shotgun lark so I flogged mine and just have a .410 for when I take the kids out.

    And you're not having it back niether !! £450 is a rip off so I'd look elsewhere if I were you. As for a scope, £200 is way too much, as already suggested look at Hawke or even a WTC, you don't need super duper glass on a .22 rimmy. I have a Hawke on mine and it works fine under the lamp. Save the cash you save and get a bipod or decent scope mounted lightforce lamp.

    This is more common than you would think. If the forms aren't sent recorded they seem to get 'lost', I know mine did and I know of a few others too, plus yours, hmmmm a pattern occuring ? You's have got me worried now men, was going to send it recorded but just sent 1st class, i probably could of even handed it in personally as i work about 5/6 mile away from the ponteland HQ where i sent my forms to. i'll start panicking if i havent heard anything in a couple of weeks. Don't wait that long, give it a couple of days and phone to check everything arrived ok. Just puts your mind at

    Guess what happened next??? Go on then, the suspense is killing me...

    I estimate my .222 to cost me no more than 36p per pop (reloads). Not too expensive. Not sure about factory rds as I have never used them, but I hear PRVI ammo is cheap as chips in this cal.

    Yes! The 17hmr is 0.170" the .177 is what it says on the tin, i.e. 7 Thou' smaller, pri*k in a shirtsleeve. Oh dear. Dick head in shirt sleeves has been there, got a t shirt to be a dick head in & on his way to wearing it out. Wise gentleman with pencil pushed up his bottom reads facts & figure written on paper to explain to dick heads this valuable information. Where did wise gentleman with pencil up his bottom get his information from. Dick head wearing a t shirt that he got while writeing information that the wise gentleman with pencil up his bottom is reading. I thi

    .22LR - 60 Yds .17HMR (when I gad one) - 35 Yds, point and click out to 125yds .222 - 100 Yds (dial in further distances now) Everything else - 1" high at 100 Yds

    Nice shot John. Crow boping is one of my favourites

    Twickers was on the ball!

    Aye, a Leica LRF is on the shopping list, I used my mates to range the shot and was very impressed. LRF + Exbal should see me right for a start.
  23. Treacle Trackpad
    Thanks fellas. I had just zeroed at 1.2" high at 100yds so with the cross hair resting on the rabbit's back it was a clean kill. I have just bought a Leup with target turrets so will have a go at dialing in when I get sorted. I want to see how far I can push the Triple!!
  24. Treacle Trackpad
    I was out with a mate today and sorted a .25" grouping 50grn V-Max load for my .222. I don't get to do too many long shots (long for the triple) but managed my furthest shot so far with a 244 yard rabbit. I got home and told the missus but she couldn't have been less interested so I had to tell someone .
  25. Treacle Trackpad
    Still got it mate. So its yours if you want it. I'll pm you. Lol, yeah the thought had crossed my mind but I can't devote enough time to ferrets so it wouldn't be fair to them.
