Very nice Mark, what are you going to feed it?

I can send you some 140 - 150gn pills to try if you like?

You'll have to take up reloading then Mark. At the moment I'm placing orders with Santa and his elves for all the bits I need.

Mark, come around and we'll load up some starting loads with a few different powders and see what it likes. I have a fair variety of projectiles aswell.

Very good your 223 is accurate with factory ammo should be a cracker with reloads :D
Raven I have the dies already and Trev has offered the use of his reloading gear :D

I'm just about equipped now. All I need is primers, powder, and a lot of reading etc. Oh, and of course setting it all up!

Do you have / have access to a Chrony?
Simple to add my Magneto-speed to the package. Just send it back or give it to Trevor to bring back??

He doesn't even have to ask that nicely!

I'm thinking you should take Kicken up on his offer as you may get to Little river and know what it likes while my stuff is in boxes
