    16-18 inch shorty rifles

    Surgeon action .308 with Manners LRH stock. Primarily a hunting set up for UK deer - shooting 130gr TTSX over N135 with 18” barrel. Big shout out to Manners for supplying the stock, top notch guys to deal with.

    223/ Vihtavouri N135 69gr +???

    Vihtavuori lists load data for N135 / 69gn SMK and heavier as per link below. That said I’ve only used N140 as it works really well, if you can get hold of some well worth a try. Good luck. https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data/rifle-reloading/?cartridge=7

    223 Component Recommendation Pls

    I bought 500 pieces of Remington brass for my 1/9" twist .223 bolt gun, split it into 4 batches according to weight. Loaded with N140 and 69gr SMK's along with CCI 400's. I've changed to BR4's though as they have a slightly thicker cup and my load is quite hot. I've tried the Lapua cases in the...

    What part of 'F*ck off, Redcoat' do the English not understand?

    Harry also created the Invictus Games which is a worthy achievement. The majority of British public can't understand his transformation and the fact he's left his complete life behind and that he's become hypocritical and woke. Becoming a parent can do funny things but I can't help but feel that...

    What part of 'F*ck off, Redcoat' do the English not understand?

    No. It's nothing but a power grab and lots of noise from the hard left. They lost the argument at the ballot boxes (Brexit over here, Trump in US) so they attempt to take control by taking over the media and social media. These celebs and woke warriors just want to be seen to be progressive and...

    What part of 'F*ck off, Redcoat' do the English not understand?

    I don't have a problem with the Royal Family, on the whole they do a lot of good. One thing they don't do is get embroiled in politics in any way... Having now left as a working Royal, Harry is dancing to Megan's tune and well and truly pissed on his chips by getting involved in this debate...

    Using a lee collet die for a mandrel

    You're absolutely right, I stand corrected. I have collapsed the odd case years when I started out using the collet die, but this was down to the case neck not entering the neck area of the die properly. A small amount of imperial lube fixes this problem.

    Using a lee collet die for a mandrel

    Body die and then Lee collet die for me as I figure the body die is going to have some influence on the shoulder and neck area. I always set the collet die in the press so that you use the full stroke of the press, therefore limiting the amount you can squeeze the neck. Push down too hard on a...

    What part of 'F*ck off, Redcoat' do the English not understand?

    Yep, he's bang out of order. Public here in the UK are sad to see what's happened to him and quite frankly glad to get rid of the pair (sorry you've now got to put up with them). Trump pulled an absolute blinder with his comment! “I’m not a fan of hers...I wish a lot of luck to Harry cos he’s...

    Laughing at the brits

    Brit here 👋 Must admit this is an entertaining thread... You'll find that Brits don't mind having a bit of fun poked at us, just as long as those throwing it can take it? Glass houses and all that. Saw Trump in the paper this morning commenting on Harry and Meghan, he pretty much nails it and...

    SS / wet tumbling - media preservative

    I use a decapping die (Lee or Redding), 100 cases only takes 10 mins or so. My preference has been to get the brass completely clean before annealing and resizing, in my case body size / neck size. I could probably cut several steps out of my reloading process without seeing a massive difference...

    idiots... wtf is it about toilet paper? It’s not like the restrictions are even that bad (well except for the pubs shutting at 10).

    Who makes the best annealer...? Why?

    I love my Benchsource, really good piece of engineering and straightforward to set up and use.

    Movie Theater Spitfire/The First of the Few

    The sound they make makes your hair stand on end. Every now and again they (along with the Lancaster usually) appear in the sky's around us. I was extremely fortunate to be directly under two of them doing a low level pass once.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns My New Benchmade

    I've only just recently got a couple of Benchmades and they've quickly become my favourite users. The first is a black Contego and the second is a Griptillian black tanto with tan scales. Great knives.

    anyone ever buy anything from Third Eye Tactical

    The Unimount is solid and very well made, I have a 20 MOA version on my AX.

    Fieldcraft Jet stoves which one?

    MSR Whisperlite multi fuel is my favourite by far, I use unleaded petrol. I also have a pocket rocket which is great for short trips.

    "best" 300 win mag brass?

    Mark up a few of the tight cases with a sharpy then chamber - the scratches and rub marks will show you exactly where the problem is. With the body die don't be tempted to go down too far if it is a bulge your trying to get rid of, you'll create excess headspace.

    "best" 300 win mag brass?

    The brass will have expanded down near the the base (near the belt) having been originally fired in a chamber with more generous dimensions than yours. Try a redding body die or you could buy the special collet sizer for belted cases that larry willis makes.
