its all relative to the local culture :P

it wont matter which die, they have a throat designed for paperpatched bullets so will quite likey take a round with the dies still attached :D Krag loads are usually given as a starting point, with my K31 I use 150gn Lee semi wadcutters along with 15gns of unique pistol powder, cant see why...

At 50m there was a definite delay before the clang of the impact on the bullet catcher 😁

ah! the good old ***stoppers :P a member of my club was using the last of his stash last year, you could follow the bullet to the target !

I have an AirArms 410 xtra FAC approx 30ft/lbs no longer have a need for it due to RHD knocking the rabbit population for six ! PM if interested, ken

I use yewtree 126gn with N133 (I believe N140 is a bit slow to get the most out of that weight of bullet, yewtree are very good with advice so worth fropping them a line )

It was a fun trip , weather was actually kind to us and Stan put us where the deer were, the first night they came out after last light (probably due to dog walkers making a lot of noise) but there were a lot of deer in the group, the following morning the Stag I got kept me guessing for almost...

I know Wengen well, have skiied there since the late 80's, we now shoot at Sigriswil,Thun,Spiez, Bonigen and Spiez so quite a mix, Action Sport in Interlaken is very welcoming for people wanting to shoot pistols, and of course theres always Brunig indoor, where you can shoot to 300m inside a...

mine is going to be late! even though I put it in more than 8 weeks before it expired! they have extended my cert for a couple of months (and that even though I renewed early last time in order to flatten out their renewal "bump" ) it seems they still are short handed

I shoot in Switzerland a couple of weeks a year, its not uncommon to see people cycling to and from the range with their rifle slung on their back, we used to shoot at a lovely range , to get to it we had to take a gondala lift up, we used to get a lot of worried looks from the tourists :D the...

all this talk about .243v.308 seems to focus on what is wrong with .243? what is "wrong" with .308? recoil? use a 125 bullet, on a moderated rifle the recoil is negligible, bullet drop? again all the main calibres are comparable to 250m and over that is probably not an issue for a novice to be...

how about the good old .308? boring maybe but effective with ample leeway and easily obtainable ammo , usually lots around as well, if he is worried about recoil I can let him shoot mine to get a feel for it

oops! I need to get better (some) specs :cool:

price?

not sure if the 20's are still available ? the laws changed a couple of years ago and high capacity mags require a seperate permit (not a problem for locals but not sure about the export rules)
