  1. Sold: #1427, Portland85 BT (Bird & Trout) Derivative in Orange Micarta with Kydex Sheath

    Go on then! You have pressed the right buttons again. ;)
  2. Vehicle Underbody (Clear Coat) Protection

    I did the same as you myself, primarily as I'm reliably informed that I have the potential to be an anally retentive arse. I recommend some disposable overalls, eye protection and WD40 to get the stuff off your face! It seems to be doing a good job though. I haven't watched the video but I...
  3. Quad sticks - any insider secrets I should know?

    I have used B and Q sticks for ages, they do work well. I have been using the Blaser V2 sticks in recent years and love them. They are light and strong, the ability to track laterally is very handy but I expect I'd like the Viperflex for that feature. Mine have had a fairly tough time of it...
  4. Anyone used the window rests bags?

    I have one of these Mk2 Window Rest Bag - Equifix Shooting Bags UK You need a fairly heavy fill to steady the bag but it works very well. It is quite handy if you have a long high seat session too. I have a selection of bags from Equifix, they are well made and arrive swiftly, I don't have any...
  5. Potato cannon

  6. Tripod advice

    I use the Bog carbon tripod with an Ant Supplies arca lever clamp on top, I found this much more solid than the saddle clamp, faster to deploy too. I did modify the arca clamp a bit as it will take picatinny too and that was snagging the rail when I tried to mount the rifle. I set the two legs...
  7. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thanks BD, I'm looking forward to having a play.
  8. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thank you for that, much appreciated. I didn't try GRT, I thought it was no longer being supported. I had heard of Quickload but it seems to have changed to Apexload. I'm quite keen on using the technology but I'm happy to start low and do the testing in real life, that has to be half the fun...

  10. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thanks for the reply NP and I appreciate the offer of assistance. I'll follow the recommendations and I have access to Hornady's manual.
  11. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    I confess, I've been researching for a couple of years, mostly youtube admittedly. Eric Cortina is very helpful regarding setting up the die. Sharpies at the ready and follow the book!!
  12. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thanks Cyres, that is very helpful.
  13. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thanks MT, I'll have a play with what I have. I appreciate the feedback. A
  14. First go at reloading, sanity check.

    Thanks NullMac, Viht does have my choice of bullet fortunately. I must admit that I'm looking forward to the journey, sad as that may seem.
