Hi, I shoot .223 and .243 and have some Berger bullets to reload. Has anybody found a Viht powder which suited both calibres.? This would negate spending nigh on £200 on two different powders. Thanks everyone for replying in advance

Hi, I have an S and B 3-12 x 50 on a .243. I have been told that this scope was designed for 7.62mm (.308) If this is correct then the ranges and adjustments on the elevation and deflection drums are of no use as they are. Does anybody know roughly what the clicks would roughly equate to (.243...

Thanks for that. I will ask if they do them in black.

Thanks, saw these but not in stock sadly. i've put an alert in, unless somebody else gazumps them!!!!

Thanks, I am assuming they do a 15 x 1?

Has anyone got a crown thread protector size M15 X 1 they can sell, or know where to get one from as everywhere I've looked on the internet so far has either sold out or they don't stock this size. . Put mine in my bag Tuesday and it disappeared.

Hi mick, I was under the impression BT was acceptable for stalking. If this not where is this written down please?

Hi, I may try the 100gr, but after all the load development i am keen to try and stick with the 95gr. On paper, it should be perfect, so i will persevere with distance from lans, load size and see what happens. As a hunter i am attempting to get maximum accuracy 1st time every time with minimum...

Hi, i went for the 95gr after doing some research as it seemed to be a good stopper, and should be stable. I'm not key holing, just getting erratic groups. I was under the impression 55gr might be too light for deer? If i get chance, i will try a few different weights, and see what happens. Will...

When i did my load development i started at 40.5 and went in .5 increments to 43.5, and it seemed to be performing best at 42.5, and from 42.1 to 42.9 42.5 was still the best. i'm loading to my COAL which 2.290, so sitting on the lans, although someone else here said try going off the lans as...

Hi I worked up to that load, went over, and the group really spread so i dropped back to 42.5 again. I shoot all 3 rounds cold cleaning the barrel in between shots , and it has always been around the 2".I know i'm breaking my position each time, but it should still be shooting better than that...

Hi I'm on the lans with a COAL of 2.290, so will try easing back a bit. I am hoping to get a micro seating die off a bloke on here next week if all goes to plan. I will try that load you suggest, although thats on the limit for 95gr i think? Will post an update in a few days or so, once I've...

Hi, and thanks for all the advice. I'm a hunter too, so every shot is from a cold clean barrel, as generally that is what you would have in the field. I'm not aware of any hot spots on the barrel, but will check. I will try loading a bit closer to the max and see what happens. I was told that...

Hi, I'm normally on a bipod and preload the legs prior to firing. Never had any great dramas with it, less the irregular groups which should be far better at 100m

Hello i have a .243 with a 22" barrel 1in 10 twist and am getting erratic results on groupings. I'm hand loading 42.5 of N 160 into lapua brass. 1st round smack on, 2nd round about an inch or two away, 3rd round again 1"-2" away forming a rough triangle. Thr Americans think 95gr through a...
