Nice one mate lovely rifle. You won't go wrong with a .22-250 mine loves Hornady superformance 50g vmax and Hornady standard Vmax 55g

[devon flighter 421]

the vmax 22's are devastating on charlie

[matty thud 42]

nice gun not far from you and the weather is shit at moment only been out couple times this year with weather

[Bigad 136]

It's not the lightest of guns but normally ge tot drive round most of the the land and I go to the gym a lot so should be ok for me the weather looks good for next sat want to go in day light for zeroing

[shropshire dan 467]

I personally zero 1 inch high at 100 yards and that gives me preety much aim smack on out to 300 yards. Just when I'm nearing 300/350 yards ill aim at the top of the back using Hornady superformance 50g drops them every time without fail

[Bigad 136]

1" high at 100 nice one I'll give it a go

[shropshire dan 467]

You'll be surprised how awesome that .22-250 is mate. It's a phenomenal round very fast and flat extremely hard hitting.

I got told it's like the 17hmr's big brother

[shropshire dan 467]

Absolutely mate. The hmrs bigger more destructive brother with an ASBO lol

I got told it's like the 17hmr's big brother

 

 

:laugh:

 

HMR circa 245ft lb. Circa 15.5g-20g bullet.

 

22-250 up to about 1300ft lb, probably a tad more with the right home brew! Circa 35g-60g bullet

 

Its not a big brother, its not even in the same family.

Like Deker said ............ it is in a different family. It is the rifle that can give the HMR, his bigger brother and all his brother's mates a good arse kicking at the same time ...... on its own!

 

By the way, it is a good looking rig mate. You are going to have a great deal of fun.

 

 

P.S. Those dies are still here. I have them on ebay right now, but if they don't sell I'll let you have them for a good price ( ) if you are interested in reloading for your new beast.
