  1. Had same issue with same rifle a couple of months back You won't be disappointed when done though cracking bit of kit
  2. Get a tikka Ben you know it makes sense
  3. Hope you have a great day mate. All the effort you put in you certainly deserve it. Second day in mine but suspect the birds still won't be flying well yet and a lot of leaf still on here.
  4. Great work mate. A very capable calibre when used sensibly well done
  5. Got my first shoot Saturday birds are looking well. Had to change the one main drive completely as one of the landowners wanted me to pay him for the guns to stand on his boundary. I am tight as a ducks ass so the guns are now 50 yards in the wood ?
  6. That does sound impressive. Mates use thermion to shoot with still don't think I could trust thermal. My drone you can count there teeth ?
  7. Don't bother mate look at what your shooting at
  8. Done the 22 many years ago Ben. I cant cope with the awful ricochet noise. I am a massive fan off hmr as well. But saying that I have been doing a rabbit clearance job on some sand dunes and .22 would have been perfect.
  9. Exactly this how can you look at bead and target while swinginging through. Don't have a bead on any of my shotguns. Does make me smile when guys turn up with these great big florescent 6inch bead stuck on a rib
  10. Great effort Ben. That 204 and oo8 seems a good combo. Was tempted by 204 but thought it would be easier to reload 223
  11. Got the brass today thanks mate. Top bloke
  12. Use bore tech on a patch. Leave it to soak in while having a cup of tea. Continue patching out till clear then light oil patch before one dry. Do it about once a month depending on use. Never used to before but having shot a barrel out on 243 years ago changed my theory My hmr seems to be most need of clean but I use it a couple of nights a week contracting for golf courses etc so needs to be good. But as said earlier these seem to be the most fussy when dirty. Fine rifling being small calibre and a lot of dirty powder. I was always told lack of cleaning was the cause of most w
  13. 53gn vmax or 5tgn blitzing with n133 David. Just want something a little quieter than my 243 for a few places near property
  14. Yes please. Just bought a 223 so need to develop a round. 243 is useful as I use that all the time
  15. I reckon half the foxes go into those kebab house's ?
  16. Sako Mate. Got sne 55gn blitzing to try my mate uses
  17. None yet David. Mates got some vhit and another mate is sung ramshor tac. I am waiting on moderator to turn up next week then it will be a trip to see what's available readily David
  18. Shame your not closer got a slab of shells
  19. Tidy job mate Got a guy coming to buy mine tomorrow. Good tool just not getting used lately
  20. Went up today also feeding wheat now. Topped up all ibcs and put out last of the feeders in the woods. Birds are scattered far and wide with the warmth of the sun on them. Growing well and certainly getting through feed in pens
  21. Had a 223 years ago. But just use my hmr and 243 for everything for the last ten years or so. But bought a 223again this week so now need to develop a load for it. Only reason being is noise and I want to leave my drone on it permanently. Luckily I have stocked up on bullets for 243. Just need to try and sort a round for 223. Mates got some 53gn vmax to try first
