    Have you zeroed the scope? Sounds like it simply needs dialling in.
  2. Mr_Logic
    LOL

    A 22/250 is definitely the better rabbit tool!
  4. Mr_Logic
    For 308, have a look here My Remington is 223 and 20 inch, works well, my CZ is 22".

    Liam, getting a 243 for long range target work means you will have a different beast to your 22/250. The 22/250 with the right bullet will go 500 yards, there's your foxing. Not sure what scope's on there, but a 16x will be fine for the role, and if the rifle is carried at all you will need to watch the weight. Your 243 will be equipped with a scope for 1000 yard shooting, which is going to be heavy (Nightforce or similar recommended for that role, 22x minimum, some say 32x). You won't be shooting the 58gr Vmax at long range targets, more likely 95 or 105 grain stuff, so it will be tot

    Tikka T3's do seem ammo fussy - except yours you lucky sod!
  7. Mr_Logic
    Why do you keep saying 243 would make you get rid of 22/250? They are different rifles, and the way you want to shoot them they do different jobs.
  8. Mr_Logic
    There is indeed - comes as standard on super varmint and tactical T3.

    All very well, doesn't really help the chap get started though, does it?
  10. Mr_Logic
    Don't have a permission big enough for a vehicle, so on foot. Have lamped off a 4x4 though and it's great fun

    Hmmm.. I've been preparing cases all bloody evening, maybe I'll pass Unless the fee goes up accordingly of course!

    I did think of the HMR vs 22RF debate, but it's different for a number of factors. First up, up close the HMR is bloody lethal, because of the expansion of the bullet. This relies on velocity and I've seen the magic figure of 1600fps bandied about as the point at which ballistic tip stops being explosive - HMR loses velocity to put it under this relatively quickly. Secondly, bullet weight between HMR and 22LR is very different, in 204 vs 223 it's the same, just configured differently. Now, all things being equal, the round with the larger diameter wins, because the energy gets transfer

    That was actually just the threading, but I suspect with the right words in his ear Tony would do the cut/crown too, might end up at £100 though, but quality of the thread is very good - much better than the factory stuff I've seen done. (cough, RWS, cough!)
  14. Mr_Logic
    There are better 6mm calibres than the 243 for long range target, but none which offer the same availability of good quality factory rifles, and also have a decent choice of factory ammo if required. The 243 is a great all-rounder, because it's actually pretty good at all the bases it covers.
  15. Mr_Logic
    Impressive stuff you've just confirmed that the .204 is what i'm after, yes i totally agree ammo is expensive but hopefully if the round gets more popular the price may come down. Still waiting on the grant to come through its only been 4 months they're abit slow in my neck of the woods! Will let you know how i got on but thanks for your replyhttp://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Each to their own of course and every problem and piece of land has its favoured tool, the .204 has its uses without any doubt, but it is NOT the new Messiah, a .223 has a L

    Turner's did a good job on my 223, without proof, for £75.

    I think you might want to have a think about exactly what you want out of this rifle. You said originally targets and small ground game. Are you thinking of shooting rabbits at a thousand yards? Hell of a shot to do it, and not worth spending money over. if you're thinking 500 yards for the small furry ones, then your 22-250 will do that anyway, the Yanks do it all the time. In terms of deer, you need to get in relatively close, as it's the Done Thing. Also, tbh, not really fair on a deer to be used as target practice - bunnies are OK, you either hit them or you miss them, with the

    Well it was on the advice of a certain member who likes spending money on reloading, so I asked the fatal question of what do I need? And I went along with what was on the list I just hope I can use it to good effect! I'll look forward to your results too, both as green as each other LOL! Indeed

    Thats what I'm hoping for Mr L. The testing of the various loads will be over the Summer on the various things that crop up on the shoot Glad its worked out for you it seems. What press did you go for? The Redding Big Boss was my recommended choice. A guy near here sells a lot of gear, recommended the Lee press etc, so that's what I went for. Glad I went to talk to him rather than just getting from a more mainstream shop, I'd have ended up with a single-die press, rather than the turret one I got. Lyman scales, Lee powder dispenser thing (I will remember the terms one day!

    Theoretical answers to your questions can be obtained from a ballistics calculator (Google one ) or quite well from Remington's website. Federal's ammo comparator shows you windage, too. For long range work, bucking the wind is more important than drop, because you can accurately predict drop. Windage is more difficult to correct, so minimizing this error is important. The ballistic coefficient of a bullet shows you how well it will buck the wind, and how well it will retain its energy. Higher is better. Have a look at bullet manufacturers' websites for their published BCs, and us

    If there is a next time. I wouldn't be surprised if he forgets shooting after that one, gotta hurt!

    I've just got mine First handloads tested this evening in the wind and darkness. Half inch groups or better with the 69gr Lapua through my Remington. Encouraging signs for the 40gr V-max in the CZ, good tight one-hole group for 3, and then flyers. Might be me though, I was cold by then... More testing required, but well happy with the Remington's load.
  24. Mr_Logic
    You've lost me there. Target shooting, as with the other points that have been mentioned, is perfectly good reason there - FEO is irrelevant here. No problems with the licensing. And, as ever, I'd stick with 243, given that we are talking live stuff as well as targets. Yes, better calibres exist for this job, but 243 is factory stuff for rifles and ammo. yes, you will handload I expect, to get the right load and velocity etc. But, factory rifles can do a pretty good job here, until you get serious about it (and even then they can - different discipline, but see under Savage's F/TR, whi

    Bugger, or maybe you got a Friday afternoon Remington? I eat humble pie on the AE brass front though - while it's stamped F C as per every other bit of Federal brass, it's military crimped, so the brass has been near a 5.56 production line at some point in its life ...
