    Nice looking bit of kit. I take it your target shooting with it?

    Depending on your barrel twist, this will dictate what bullets you shoot.

    I use a T3 Varmint with a 1:8 twist. I use mine for game and target.I find that a heavy bullet works best (75g A-max) .

    A rule of thumb is the 1:12 twist light bullets 40 to 55grain and 1:8,1:7 twist for heavy bullets 6o grain upwards.

    If it's a tight twist barrel you should try some Prive Partizn 223 match.... very cheep and great for long range.

     

    All the best :gunsmilie:

     

     

    ive got it down for target & vermin, but before i use it in the field i want to see what its capable of & its limits... its a 1:12 twist, so as you say, ill be using 55g max.

    picked up my new rifle yesterday, .223 varmint with a T8 up front & a nikko 6-24x56 on top..

     

    looking forward to getting it down Bisley in the next few weeks to put it through its paces & to find what ammo it likes...

     

    I'm going to try & get a few different makes of ammo so i can give it a good test..

     

    i appreciate each rifle is different, but what do all you .223 shooters prefer ?

     

    also what trigger kits are recommended ?

     

    cheers..

    ive used dowlings in the past, they screw cut, re-crowned & proofed my ruger 10/22T for £70 a while back.. done a perfect job... it was a few years back though..

     

    6 months ago i got joe from barnet to do another .22lr barrrel, cut, re-crown but not proof for £40.

     

    & ive just got my new .223 remmy screw cut & recrowned for £80, looks a top job..

     

     

     

    Winnyman, why would you say steer clear of Dowlings, what bad experience have you had from them ? i know neil well & he always goes out of his way to help...

  16. out today...

    in Ferrets & Ferreting

    Posted

    left the house before sunrise to make an early start... arrived about 6.30 & it was just turning light...

     

    as today i was mainly working hedge rows which were on steep banks i decided to take my Jill & smallest hob just so they would be much more of a chance of bolters... well that was the plan..

     

    threw the long-net around the first small set of 8 or so holes which were on an open piece of land.. entered the two ferrets, waited for a while, then the ferrets appeared, let them go back down again & shortly afterwards they appeared & were showing no interest.. picked up & moved onto the next set...

     

    the next sets were the hedges, long netted them & entered the ferrets, after a few minutes i heard screams from under, located them at 5 foot, no chance, next screamer at 4 foot, no chance.. all they were doing was killing under & not a single bolter... as the day went on it was pretty much the same...

     

    the last set i netted up produced two, one i reached down to get that was at the mouth of the entrance & another that was caught in the net...

     

    loads of kills under & only two in the bag... better than nothing i suppose.. still nice to get out in the morning...

     

    a few shots..

    i can see what your trying to do being good on paper as it were. but be very carfull fella , this big day with loads of strangers all out ferreting with dogs , guns sounds like a recapee for disaster.

     

    you only need some inexperianced shooters, and some lees than obediant dogs , and you will be in a hole world of hurt.

     

    i hope all goes well and evrybody has a good day but as i said just be carefull kid :thumbs:

     

     

    couldn't agree more....

    when i first started to use add-ons i had the same problem with getting the crosshairs in focus... using the scope in day time the crosshairs were bang-on, when i added the add-on, it went pair shaped...

     

    now before i attach the unit i give the eye relief a few turns & all is good..

     

    have you tried adjusting the eye relief before putting the unit on ?
