ive used home loaded 110gr vmax in my 270 for years, as monarman says accurate devistating on foxes and a little messy on deer but good for reds if you push them a little slower. I have matched norma vmax speeds but tailored them to my rifle making them more accurate than me, this means I can go...

I have a scar on my head where a chip of rock that previously had been 6" infront of my .270 had been collected me on its way to a new home. Just goes to show mistakes like that one could be serious, it cut through my hat and glanced the left had side of my head requiring 6 stiches. Funny thing...

Just done your survey. Where I agree with most of the posts on this thread, I'm also of the opinoin that if "its not broken dont fix it". I have in the past had to dispach a stag involved in a RTA with a .222 and found that a 50gr vmax did the job perfectly and after disection did more damage...

I've been using a 222 for years on roe with 50gr norma soft points with no issues. I have just finnished making and testing a 50 gr vmax load over H4198 which is performing very well on paper. ill let you know whar the outcome is. enjoy the new cal.

I've got it on mine I asked when I renewed 10 years ago and it was no problem, does mean that I can use solid slugs in a 9 shot semi auto :lol:, I don't use it much but I have been called by the local bobby to deal with rta's. I'm not sure how complicated it would be to get it now. Andy

Ive been using a stainless synthetic t3 lite .270 for 8 years, it's had 1000's of rounds through it still clover leaves, looks like a tool, works like a tool, and to date has never let me down (i've let it down but never the other way round). does need a moderator to get the best from it.

If you fancy going north you could try Strathmore, Merkland or Reay forrest at Achfarry in Sutherland

I've always been partial to a wee strole in tha Highland Park

I did't say I expected it to move I just wanted something to cover the pit so the kids (should they ever be allowed into the inner sanctum) don't fall in:lol:

the photo is a grey heron or if you live on the west coast of scotland it's a florivore (sp), it an otter doing the damage to your fish, I have sat and watched a otter taking duck off a pond close to my house, glad i'm not a duck!!

I havn't eaten birdseye burgers for years since I found a compleate big toenail in one (the dicovery was followed by everyone at the bbq throwing up!!) unfortunatly according to customer servis I was due nothing as I hadn't bought the burgers!!!!
