    I overheard this statement once and it stuck in my mind , " how can I advise a wise man "
  2. Hawkeye.
    something you also need to do
  3. Hawkeye.
    par for the course i'm affraid
  4. Hawkeye.
    They will probably ask about your experience . That is measured by the number of rounds fired. Licensed for 6 mths and used 200 rounds is better than 5 yrs and used 20

    thought i'd read a post of yours saying you had brass and had primed them
  6. Hawkeye.
    bit late for cleaning if you've fitted primers
  7. Hawkeye.
    What you mean is , you want someone to tell you where to start
  8. Hawkeye.
    were you taking small step's ?
  9. Hawkeye.
    " make sure it fit's you " seem's to be the popular advice . Will they know whether it does or not or do they even know what " fit's " means ? Please explain what you mean

    Get a book and read it . Then you'll know what other info there is in it and you'll be able to make an informed decision as to whether or not it was worth buying .

    Are the locking nut's on the turrett's tightened after setting zero ?
  12. Hawkeye.
    perhaps it is getting knocked or adjusted in transit
  13. Hawkeye.
    I thought the same when I started but bought the Hornady manual. Glad I did as I refer to it now and again and the information contained helped me understand thing's easier

    Make sure that the barrel is not touching the stock. Slide a sheet of paper between the stock and barrel back to the action to ensure clearance. Check to see if the front sling screw does not go through the stock and touch the barrel when in the firing position. Has it ever had a consistent zero ? eg ; group of 3 in a 2" bull at 100yds

    Might be a litter of cub's there , now starving to death ! Don't tell me, it was a dog fox , you didn't know that when you shot it .
  16. Hawkeye.

  17. Hawkeye.
    yes , they are available. Are you looking for some ?

    Tried using the snake last night ,bloody mare of a job ,ended up throwing it in the bin. Maybe i was too hasty chucking it. Maybe you could instruct me on the correct way of using it ,if would be so kind If you think a boresnake is a good idea then use a bore guide and drop the weight through that
  19. Hawkeye.
    What about buying primer's ? Can i buy any amount in one day or just the amount on the ticket ?
  20. Hawkeye.
    If the second and third shot are not affected in any noticeable way , why clean after the first , why not clean after the 3rd ? How many would it take before it did affect accuracy ?
  21. Hawkeye.
    go home , get some rest and dream of Elvis driving a bus
  22. Hawkeye.
    i remember reading that it was better to minimize the number of cleaning rod strokes through the barrel to maximize barrel life
  23. Hawkeye.
    Wow After 45 rounds my group size increases a little so i clean my rifle every 30 - 40 rounds fired.
  24. Hawkeye.
    After cleaning how many rounds do you need to fire through it to restore accracy ?
  25. Hawkeye.
    How often do you clean yours Decker ?
