He did a tidy job for me on a Night Force scope last year and, whilst clearly elderly, think he is a way off of 90

I have no experience of the other UK boar populations but do have plenty with the FoD ones. The farm they originated from had European boar stock but had used an Eurasian boar to seek larger carcass size. This possibly explains the large size of mature animals from this population although I...

Is this the Gen 1 or Gen 2 model please?

Another vote for 130gr Barnes TTSX bullets

Another vote for Barnes TTSX. Depending on what you are shooting I might be tempted to look at the 120gr as well as the 140gr. The 120gr at circa 3200fps would be a great round for UK deer. I use them in a 7mm-08 at 3,100 fps and they are great.

I’ve worked in insurance for a long time and am not surprised at the response from Lycetts but also disappointed at such a response. I know loads of deer managers and game keepers who routinely use a chainsaw as part of their daily duties. It may be worth putting a well constructed challenge in...

Not done that much with the Creedmoor yet. It’s very accurate and doing 3500 with 75gr ELDM. Looking to get hold of some of the new ELD-VT 69gr which should be excellent fox medicine. Plan is for it to take over as my main night time fox rifle when lead ban hits and my 6XC has to take a step...

From what I have seen, there’s not that many .22 ARC in uk yet but one or two on here have one and say very good things about them. Stats look really impressive. I have 22 Creedmoor and .223 in 2 very different configurations. If money were no object I could easily convince myself that a nice...

Calibre specific Satern funnel is the solution. Had exactly the same issue with my 7 PRC

I’ve got a plague of rats in my cover crops and do not want to risk poisoning my kestrels or barn owls so interested in any effective solutions like this.

Weatherby were doing a good offer on 7PRC brass. Its made by Norma and seems good (I bought some)

Still for sale? I have a mate who’s not on here who is interested please

So, a sample size of 4 deer? It is appreciated that you have a large sample size for what you do currently but your post above suggests a handful of lost deer is what your theory is based on with no recovered carcass to establish any evidence of how the bullet has performed. I lost a decent...

I see you are probably sorted but HPS in Newent do annealing commercially.
