(y) Loving Vihtavuori N560 propellant in my rifle. Excellent consistent results @ 100yds testing last year.

... out of favour with modern day shooter? :shock: Is that so, or is it just that for smaller calibre rifles, .243, .257, .264 so few choices are available. In 6.5/.264 cal. I can only find 160gn RN bullets. Nothing in 120, 130 or 140gn range in .243 very little choice & .257 nothing at all...

Deer stalking estate island of Jura, West coast of Scotland Absolutely stunning. https://vimeo.com/288713380

Yesterday With a good friend we chrono’d his ammunition - 6.5x55SE. His loads are very accurate, around 3/4” @ 100yds, so consistently pretty fair. Set chrono up & shoot five rounds with avg. MV established at 2788fps. Then another five rounds shot, and average fps similar resulting in the...

OK folks, what are your views on these cases? Which do you prefer? Advantages/disadvantages? Horror stories? POI differences?

Ho hum, I haven’t seen it yet as it just arrived at my dealers store yesterday, but I just bought what looks like a real nice Steyr Mannlicher Classic stutzen in 6.5x55 SE (Swede). Looks like this smoothie has been really well maintained and I understand it’s from the early 2000’s era...

The verdict is the barrel is well & truly knackered. The cost to have a new correctly profiled MSch.6.5 x 54 Kreiger chrome moly & blued replacement £1250-£1500. The down side? I'd lose the proof date stamp of .22 (1922) and matching serial number. (I'll have photographs of course) Keeping the...

Ordered my LE Wilson bullet seating die some weeks ago & have a Harrell press since making the decision to try this method of bullet seating to see if I can achieve CONSISTENTLY low run out when bullet seating. The die arrived today. Nice looking piece of kit. I've set it up on my made up...

Le Mans 24hr endurance race starting @ 15.00hrs local time France. Stunning event with some 66 cars starting. 24hours of solid racing action at speeds well over 230 mph on the Mulsanne.

http://xn--mannlich-schnauer-b0b.com/ Just in case there are a few enthusiasts for these rifles out there, Michael Miedler now builds new Mannlicher-Schönauer versions with new machined action parts that appear to be identical to the old Mannlicher-Schönauer ones. He's also able to supply...

Plenty of police action around the UK yesterday afternoon through the night & today after an islamic attack using a car and knife on the public and killing a policeman while attempting to enter our Westminster Palace Parliament in London, England. The terrorist was shot dead. Now police are...

I've used my old Rockchukker for many years & there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it...but, I have a bit of an itch. I keep thinking I should buy a Forster Co-ax! Should I? What might I gain? Is it really going to be any better? Produce better ammunition? If it's so good, I can...

Does anyone notice a different POI of brass that has been anneald, than once fired from new brass, that hasn't been annealed yet - with identical loads? I have certainly found that there is, also that it's somewhat significant. What are your views? Everything as close to identical as possible...

My four friends and I made it to the cottage in Scotland last week in Sept. & first in October, getting back home again on last Thursday 6th. The stags were roaring and the rut full underway. My own count was just one 'spiker' a young stag, but the tally in total was nine stags and three...

I've had a Chrony F1 for many years ... it's been shot & repaired a few times by 'friends' who really knew how to shoot better than they did when using my kit...ah well, :roll: what can you do? Now it's been shot and finished & I'm about to buy a new one..haven't yet decided on another...

Well here it is all done. My 1922 proofed 6.5x54 Mannlicher Schoenauer M1903 'Takedown' and it's 8x56 Schmidt & Bender with 30mm tube ready to go. A brilliant job with exactly the right parts & set as low as it can go to allow minimum barrel clearance and the wing safety to operate. The exact...

Is shooting live quarry at these extended ranges really to be considered hunting? Of course we know many people do shoot live quarry at some very extended ranges, but isn't this really sniping & just to prove it can be done? I have taken occasional 300 /320yds shots on red hinds while culling...
