Re: Bikini Covers vs Butler Creek Had Butler Creeks on working rifles that have lasted for years. THEN a few years back, when I replaced a scope and had some new additions, the new BCs were worse than useless. Caps would break off for fun, and at £15+ a pop was getting expensive ($24)...

Re: lightweight tent Seeing you're on this side of the pond, take a look at Terra Nova. I have a Laser Competition 1. They also do a 2 (2 person). The tiny titanium skewer pegs are super light, but a pain in the arse. Get some good quality 'v' pegs and your set up for everything...

Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! To be honest only tried the atmospheric auto input once and the temp was quite a bit out, probably due to altitude and distance from the sea. We get quite a difference in temp in the UK between low/coastal and upland/inland. A lot of the...

Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! Hi Sean, First off, thanks for a great program and all the work you are doing. Been using 'Shooter' for a while now and liking it a lot. I have 2 questions/requests. They may have been answered already in the thread, but I haven't seen...

Re: Hand loading for Long range 1: brass case prep Thanks for the efforts Tres. Much appreciated. I have my eye on Ebay for a cleaner as I type. My question is how do you determine correct neck tension if your using a bushing die for minimum velocity spread? I know what Redding says about...

Re: Old .30cal Winchester Bullets. Info wanted. Thanks for your input fellas. Much appreciated. The range of experience of the collective on here never ceases to amaze me. I'll run the figures as Sierra to start and see where to go from there. Thanks again. Cheers Jon

Re: Old .30cal Winchester Bullets. Info wanted. Thanks guys I knew there'd be some out there who'd come across these before. As requested heres a picture. I don't usually load full metal, so don't get to see the bases of the bullets very often. I have seen the bases of a few FMJ over the...

Hi Fellas, I've got my hands on 500 Winchester Olin .30 cal bullets. They look pretty old and don't appear in their current catalog. I've also emailed Olin about them, but no reply. So, I was hoping one of you out there may know something about them. They are marked on the box as "30CAL...

Re: butler creek caps POS!!!!! any suggestions? Amen! Never broke a closed one. Last one broke off while the rifle was slung and the cap was open, simply walking about. No creeping through brush or anything rough, just rubbing against my coat. Done same with my older ones for years, 5...

Re: butler creek caps POS!!!!! any suggestions? Had Butler Creeks for getting on for 20 years or so. Never a problem I couldn't attribute to my self - until about 2 years ago. Changed scopes on my work rifle and got a new set of caps. Gone through more than 5 sets in that time. Last set...
