    Well my toys arrived today Very impressed simple idea the trickler but works perfect only had to adjust it 3 times before it got dialed in say 2/3 mins to set it and that was first time so should be close everytime now so less time fiddling with it. The rcbs 10 10 scale is very sensitive unlike my older lyman 500 scale. If u look very closely at it the two marks u try and line up never actually stop as there is always abit of a breeze about either from me moving breathing or shouting at the dog. The lyman scale would stop dead and not move like the rcbs seems like the lyman is

    Suzuki or toyota older ones or a mighty nissan patrol Take a look at australia theres only two main 4x4s hilux and landcruiser. In the south of Ireland it's the same toyota toyota toyota. Also if you look up toyota for sale will come across a few with nearly 300,000 miles so that can't be bad.

    Im on tbe search for a hilux double cab pick up dont want to spend more than 4g Want one that has been raised and big wheels. Is there anything to looking out for on a raised vehicle? i know tjere is a limit to were u start to pull suspension out of the jeep if u lift to high. Would i be better sticking to a 2" lift rather than a 4" ???? Also is there aanything worry about on the 2.4td enginges? Seen a few 2.8 non turbos about like the sound of no turbo less to go wrong.

    There was a t3 lite in the shop but i really wanted the super varmint. But its not available until August time and then i will still have to apply when i get it with the serial number and the license for a shotgun here in Ireland is taking 4-6 months and center fire takes longer again so I'll get it early next year by the sounds of it. got land signed for and all on the firearms permission sheet with over 500acres pity i didnt now the serial number by the time my license comes back the gun might be here. Awell still the .223 to play with until then.

    £125 delivered bargain if u ask me Read up about the gen 6 for best accuracy turn it on and let it sit for 30mins to a hr something todo do with static discharge But good thing with the lyman not affected affrcted by draft as much as the beam scales And very fast but tm should be as fast

    Any of you .204 ruger boys reloading with n130 by any chance?
  10. GEOFF.223
    That's Wat I had my eye pal But it's hard to beat a scale If I was just loading hunter loads I would have got the lyman gen 6 but as I'm big into longrange shooting I want to be as accurate as possible. How fast does the lyman do a charge like 10 seconds or 20 seconds etc

    Ruger

    why not go all the way with a 20-250 Because i think the .204 is a better round same wind drift as .22 250 but less recoil cheaper to reload and incredibly accurate Any way its to late ordered the tikka super varmint in .204 today

    Was on fone today to a gun dealer here in northern Ireland that specialises in mostly rifles and reloading gear and he has convinced me to go for a t3 super varmint in .204 He told me yes no prob he will get a 20tac made up for me for using a rem 700 action for about 1300/1400 pounds As he has a 20 tac he said if he was doi g it againt he would go .204 ruger because of more accessible parts especially brass and more load data out there So im taking my .223 and my 17hmr to trade in against the tikka t3 super varmint tomorrow He also stocks vortex scope now so will hav

    Good read that tried explaining to some old boys how a smaller lighter faster bullet will be affected by wind less Say a large round that goes about 2600fps Compared to a small one doing 3900fps will get to the target faster thus not being pushed by wind for a as long as a larger bullet going slower i the air longer more wind drift.
  18. GEOFF.223
    Seen a nice 20 tac set up might trade the 17hmr in and my 223 against it ☺

    Been using sterlock for a while now with good results but i entered new data for a different round today and it was not making since kepted telling me my bc was .498 but Sierra web site said .248 No matter which bc i put in its now giving the result im getting [BANNED TEXT] i shoot I'll run through wat i did so if i miss anything someone can help 1. Zero at 100m set sterlock to meters 2. shot group at 250meters measured drop entered it into speed validation part of sterlock told me i waa shooting at 908m/s just shy of 3000fps after all that its telling me ive a drop of 18cm at

    Rang about today to see what was in the scopes came acroos a 20tac but no idea of price make etc Only prob with the 20tac is the brass but i dont mind ne necking down a .222 case
  22. GEOFF.223
    Cheers lewdan Did u ever notice did ur barrel heat up faster with .204 because of the higher speed?
  23. GEOFF.223
    Yea buts it's nice to here others opinions have a max budget of £1000 for a scope to put on the .20 if and [BANNED TEXT] I get it. There so many to choose from don't now we're to start really like the swaroski scopes but there a little over my budget of a grand as I want one with target turrets

    Took my .223 out to check zero and to my shock it was way off to the right i had to screw windage 4 full revolution to get it back on target it was zero 6months ago and it was dead on. The rifle has never been droped knocked or hit im now only one revolution away from maxing windage out.

    Im in northern ireland so im limited to only .22 and below sized bullets A 40gr .204 drops 1.5 inches less than a 50gr .22 250 at 400yards Also as i reload i will save money on powder as the 22 250 uses more. The .20 cals seem to be more accurate than other size rounds under 500yards. Yes i understand that your saying there is not a mager difference but Little recoil Cheaper to reload very accurate hopefully
