Great evening out on the Chinese at Childerley sporting this evening, really wanted to take my first CWD and managed in the end to get Two, could have had more if wanted to open the wallet up but Two was enough. Great foot stalk on the first ended up crawling onto the crest of a hill and taking...

Sorry for basic question… but will these fit into a Lee press (fairly new to reloading!)?

Tunbridge wells far from you? Check out Barelands farm if not, been there a few times on the fallow, plenty on that estate.

Yes mate, think the first time you go that you have to chat with the gamekeeper / head stalker first, then after that I think you can book online. But search for them and all the contact details are on the web

Check out Barelands farm, it’s South of Tunbridge Wells, been there a few times and they are good guys, will let do the gralloch under instruction too, well they did for me anyway! Lots of fallow on their land

Good start to the day, in the highseat nice and early, watched many fallow grazing out of range of the 30-30 rifle in my hand. Many came agonisingly close to being in range but then turned at the last minute and walked away, until this unsuspecting pricket wandered right into the danger zone. He...

Think the general consensus is the DSC1 holds more weight than the PDS1, id go down the DSC path personally, would give you more options for the future

Cheers mate, I heard about the light primer strike issue, so I’ll keep an eye on that, if it’s an issue I’ll revert back to the original hammer spring and get it sorted the other way. I’ve not tested it on a spring gauge or anything but the new spring definitely feels lighter than the previous...

It’s all good I found a lighter hammer spring in the box of bits from when I brought the gun. Quick search online and it was a 10 min job to change the spring. So job done

I don’t know tbh, I thought asking here would be a good starting point! If anyone can point me in the direction of a tutorial and it isn’t too difficult I’d potentially give it a go

Hi all, does anyone know if and hopefully who can lighten a trigger pull on a Marlin lever action chambered in 30-30? It’s. Heavy enough at the moment to make me pull the occasional shot so obviously looking to eradicate that! I’m in Essex so any gunsmiths local would be amazing Thanks in...

I hear you, but I want to get into it, I’ve done some load dev already and found one that works well, got good groups with it so keen to fine tune a bit more

Been looking around mate and can’t find any local, most people don’t want to post out a press and I can understand that, I’ll keep my eye out of course but nothing so far

I’m reloading for the 30-30, factory ammo is a bit thin on the ground hence the need to load my own. I’ve got all the dies etc already, just need a press and a few other bits

Hi all, keep seeing the smart reloader range of products available such as press, tumbler etc on optics warehouse. Question is if anyone has or does use it and it’s worth getting or not? I’m probably going to be loading about 80 rounds a year max so don’t need some all singing all dancing setup...
