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.Sako 22-250 wrote:That would be great thanks Dave at this stage I only have a box of factory 154g SSTsmick_762 wrote:Very nice Mark, what are you going to feed it?

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!Sako 22-250 wrote:Very good your 223 is accurate with factory ammo should be a cracker with reloadsThe Raven wrote:You'll have to take up reloading then Mark.

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
