  2. Subaru forester offroad capability ?

    Bought a 62 reg 2.0 litre diesel in October as I finally got fed up with the running and repair costs of my pickup. I purchased a set of steel wheels and and fitted them with Bf A/T's which I intend to keep on the vehicle between October and April. I don't need it to go green laning or seriously...
  3. 120 gr gmx

    Hi Blitzking i'm certainly finding them challenging as well. Best so far is 1" at 100 and still expanding considerably at 150. Just made another selection of batches going a bit slower but not going to get a chance to test for a couple of weeks now. When Hornady stopped the 140 sp I thought it...
  4. 6.5x55 hornady 129 gr sst with viht 160

    I'm currently going through the process of developing a load for the 6.5 x 55 using using the 120g hornady gmx, the Vit data I'm using is the 6.5 x 55 Skan as that's the one for modern rifles. It gives the predicted speeds for three different barrel lengths and is based around a modern Sauer...

  7. Butler Creeks Breaking

    I recently bought a S & B scope 3 - 20 x 50 from my local dealer (about 12 months ago), it came with a set of S & B flip ups that as yet don't seem to be generally available. The quality is superb and the material robust. If they ever make them generally available I will fit them to every rifle...
  8. Wanted: Sika stalking

    Never having even seen one I was wondering if anyone can recommend someone for reasonably priced Sika stalking, North or South. I'm not after trophys and would be more than satisfied with hind culling. I keep myself reasonably fit and am happy to put the leg work in. I would be looking to make a...
  9. drinks chillers

    Did you manage to get the shelves with the chiller? I just put one shelf in as high up as it will fit and then use s hooks off the shelf, holds the weight of 2 Fallow bucks or several Roe without a problem and no messing about drilling etc..

    Richard After a fair bit of trial and error I settled on the following; Lapua brass Remington primer L/R Vit n160 44gns Hornady 140 gn sp From Munty through to Reds does the job nicely. Used in a Tikka T3 lite. regards Mick

    I use H380 with Hornady 60 grain soft points and have had good results to date, however i have a tikka with a varmint barrel so you may not get on with the 60 grains.
  12. Training a labrador

I'm based near Rugby, does anybody know of any one local to me that could...
  13. Missing Mums

    Was out on Sunday morning after a Fallow buck so up early and in the high seat for first light. About 5.30 heard a lot of noise in the wood behind me and then had four Fallow does and seven young break cover and start to graze on the grass in front of me. The young were definitely all this years...
  14. Syndicate place

    Hi, I am looking for a syndicate place on land with Reds on, I hold Dsc 1 and 2 and can provide references if required. I spend far too much on daily rates for hind stalking and was looking for predominantly winter shooting with a chance of a stag in the summer. I am based in the Midlands so...
