  1. Effective range (military specifications)

    Folk have died from headshots with 22lr at over a mile. Is that the effective range of 22lr?

    Sorry for delay on this. Will respond to all shortly.

  4. Dunblane: how Britain banned handguns

    On that day I was dropping off my then 7 yo daughter to school. Some of the other parents knew I was a gun owner. It was a different time. I remember the "looks" I was getting. She spoke to me about it last week as she had seen one of the TV programs about it. I asked her if the program dealt...
  5. Semi auto shotgun

    If you use 50mm carts you could probably get 5 in! I think the 2 plus 1 would presumably revolve around 70mm cartridges.
  6. For Sale: Lincoln Premier Gold - 20G (2023)

    I assume steel proofed? Would you be able to weigh it please?
  7. Help buying new o/u shotgun

    Get one of these a Kofs RP with 3 barrels with 3.5inch chambers. Wouldnt matter too much if it didnt fit!
  8. Reduced 45-70 load

    As said just about any shotgun/pistol powder will achieve it. No fillers required. I usually put a thin felt wad to pack the powder against the flash hole. Seem to get a better SD. This has all you need to know: Lever Gun Performance Studies
  9. Wanted: MEC 600 Junior mk5

    Prefer one in 28b or 410 but a 12g would work too. Thanks
  10. The importance of clean primer pockets

    I never used to but do so religiously now. All part of my case prep.
  11. SUV Recommendations

    Rav 4 and Crv and Vitara are very similar in size. Dacia probably slightly smaller. Forget the Mokka and Juke. Juke is a hairdressers car and the Mokka can suffer with engine problems. A Yeti is fab but might not find a good one for £4k
  12. Sending open rear sight from the US

    Out of interest what is the sight?
  13. Aligning Shotgun Licensing (Case Ref: LB07896)

    I got as far as "high powered firearms".
  14. Primers backing out?

    Surely the only way primers can back out in a bolt action rifle is if there is space for them to do so?
  15. Propellants for 6.5 CM: N160 or N555

    either will probably work fine. how far are you shooting? If you look on viht website it gives you the energy of each powder. N555 is relatively tame.
