Another part of the problem is the lack of maintenance on Lincolnshire roads, few cats eyes, white lines that have not had a lick of paint in donkeys' years, and as for the nearside line, well they have been long forgotten. Had to drive home last night on A16 north of Boston in my sons' Subaru...

In days of yore a concoction which included fish oil was used as a clearing agent.

6.5x55 Sauer 202, 112grn Yew Tree, 46.2grn of RS62, MV of +-2800fps, COL of 75mm ie 112 thou in my rifle, and 11-14mm 5 shot groups at 100m.

Welcome from the Fens.

Lidl centre isle. By the time good -expensive- ones start breaking down, they are out of date so, no spares. Get el Cheapo and replace when required.

I just hope that you replaced it with decent brass. I use Lapua in my Swede and find that the primer pockets wear out at around the 17+ firing. However it is all neck turned, annealed every 3rd firing, and sized with a bushing die and mandrel. This is with 130grn Sierra GK's running at around...

A pair checking out last years nest in the barn.

46.2grn RS62, 75mm COL for 2866 fps works well in 6.5*55

I have found that generally I can get many fewer reloads with US cases than I can with European. Not using .223 but typically 3-4 reloads with the likes of winchester and remington and up to 17 or 18 with Lapua, and then it is a case of loosening primer sockets not split necks, but I use...

In my 202 everything likes a good jump! Fox 123 has the smallest jump of 74thou, everything else is 107 to 113 thou.

I'm sure I saw a LH Sauer 202 recently, check the classifieds.

Any idea what it sold for?

I wonder about the number of fender-benders the audience managed!

Initially NO, long term NO but for different reasons. If you only use a few boxes per year the initial outlay is relatively high but bought second-hand less so. You will find that you use more because the cost is roughly halved per shot, good because you learn more about shooting in different...

Correct me if I am wrong, the old DSC1 included the meat hygiene course, the new one doesn't, and that is the bit that enables you to enter a carcase into the food chain. Thus with the new version you either have to do a separate course or the DSC2 to get that vital piece of paper to keep the...
