Hello from UK, I found your forum and enjoy many of the posts so I thought I would join in where I can. I'm an experienced target shooter, been at it some years now. Ex-UK armed forces last deployed loooong ago keeping the Russians back from West Germany !

I shoot scoped only; .22 rimmy, .308; 6.5CM on a regular basis - often at Bisley. Also .338LM out to 2000yds in Scotland when I can get up there. I have a 45/70Gov Henry and a .44Rem Marlin (a Remling unfortunately). Oh, and an occasional shoot with my Euroarms Roger & Spencer blackpowder revolver and our club No.4 5 groove .303Brit. Also enjoy an occasional clay-pigeon shoot with my Beretta 12g
I hand-load for precision and buy the best components I can get over here.

I don't shoot critters but have no issue with those that do and I'm partial to the occasional lump of venison from mates.

I even have an American brother in Maine !
