What's the 4 number DOT on them indicating date of manufacture? Eg 0414. This would indicate that the tyres were made on the 4th week of 2014 making them 12 years old. Obviously this is just an example, however do remember that tyres over about 7 years old, the rubber goes harder and loses it's...

Like RL15 in my .243, I just lowered the powder charge. It made little difference, except that it's now a safe summer load.

Hi User00040, How have you got on with the 139 Hornady CX? I gave Barnes 139 LRX a 1st try 2 weeks back. Ladder test from 2600fps to 3169fps in a fairly long barrel custom chambered 284 Win. I was going to use this now to try and hone a perfect load. I was just wondering why you switched to...

Yeap, agree, however in my case you tell me who manufactures factory non lead 284Win. 🤔

My now 2 year old GWP from Bockenhagen kennels in Telgte Germany. She's a very prey driven dog, a lot harder to train than my last GWP, but an absolutely lovely family hound and I know I'm biased but I think she's a stunning looking girl. 🤣 This was her with her first roe buck about 12 months...

I agree, For 37 years I've been using the same lee hand held disc shaped primer press. I also have a hand held lee breach lock hand press for occasional use. I would suggest a simple case funnel, and a powder trickler. I also use Hornady one-shot case sizing wax. To me it's the easiest to apply...

If you do decide to get another calibre then please consider this; 1. If you believe that there is the remotest possibility that you will shoot on FE land or anywhere where they insist on Factory ammo, then make sure you can easily source Non-lead ammo in your intended calibre. 2. Be aware that...

See #31 above.

Ok, I've had this exact problem also with 243. Didn't seem to affect my 308 ever. In my case I was only neck sizing with lapua brass that had been neck turned for concentricity and also trimmed for length. I was using Redding competition bushing neck sizing dies with the micrometer at the top...

How do I buy one of these kits. I have the Mjoelnir carbon quad sticks.

Hi Everyone, I'm obviously new here. I'm a Bristol based occasional stalker. Predominantly roe and muntjac. Took my 1st deer way back in October 1992 so been doing this for a while. I mainly use 243 for the roe. I enjoy a bit of target/range work too as it helps maintain ones competency. I enjoy...
