That is very generous of you Scipius, thank you!

Many thanks, All the forum learned experience is invaluable.👍

Thank you. It's my hope to find a load that is the most accurate shooting at steel silhouettes out to about 300m. Are the ballistic tip and accubond 140gr?

Hi HandB I had read so much about the .275 Rigby and had a trip of a lifetime management hunting in Zimbabwe in 2003. I was using the PH's pre 64 Winchester model 70's chambered for .243 and .30-06. I shot 160gr, 180gr and 200gr grain silvertips in .30-06 and the 200gr loads were rattling my...

Great! I'm taking all this on board. Thanks Kim

The trifecta of dangerous reloading practice would be: 10 pints, Rosie demonstrating 'loose ball technique' on the down crank and a jackpot lottery ticket in your back pocket!! It might be best the day after to pull those rounds🤔

Hi HeymSR20 Lots of good advice here and thanks for taking the time to help me out. I have a Vihtavouri manual and a Lyman 47th edition, plus Hornady's ABC of reloading so between these and various YT channels, Im getting a good idea on a safe start to developing a pet load for my rifle. I...

Much appreciated. I'm at YT university most days trying to get educated. The lads at Tim Hannams Reloading were really helpful and said they'd help me if I needed it. Thank you Apthorpe

Thanks. I have recently started to put together the kit for reloading and it seems powder and primers are in short supply or unavailable? I had a day at Tim Hannams Reloading and the lads there were top drawer.Before calling over,they advised that they were fulfilling back orders for Vihtavouri...

Thank you Webley. That's what I suspected regarding slight differences in bullet weight and starting loads, but good to get it confirmed. I have an old Lyman 47th edition reloading manual from my pistol shooting days, and the Hornady ABC of reloading which I got off Ebay last week. I also have...

Hi everyone, Id like some advice if possible please. I have shot 80 rounds or so of factory brass in my Heym SR20N and Im ready to reload that once fired brass. The Vit N150 data, which is the powder I have, for 7x57 mauser is for 140gr and 160gr bullets. I have Hornady 139gr SST's and 162gr ELD...

Hi I live in Yorkshire and I shoot a Heym SR20 N in 7x57 Mauser I shoot clay pigeons too and have a Browning 725 Pro sport. My shooting is in Cumbria and is shooting paper and simulated stalking steel animal targets. I got my rifle and some ammunition just prior to the covid lockdowns and did...

Hello BC Just got hold of the Heym recently. Previous rifle was a Steyr in 6.5x55. The Heym is in good condition for its age and am looking forward to getting out with it.

Greetings everyone. I live in West Yorkshire and have just started back stalking again after an 8 year layoff. Rifle is a left hand Heym SR20N in 7x57. Looking forward to learning and sharing. Go well.
