You should check the COL seating depth which is right for your rifle and not just go by the book (except for max loads of course) Reloading manuals usually give you tips on how to check COL for your rifle. If not,shout and someone on here will help. This should further increase the accuracy. Different ballistic tip bullet heads are different lengths. Hornady are shorter than Speer for instance.

Not coming South for a while, selling due to buying a dedicated night scope.

Sorry, the price is the price, no offers, It's well worth the cash and is actually quite a bargain, new tube, body and glass as new condition, just the illuminators of this quality are about £250.00 and no friends in the South. or the North... or the East... or the West...........

C tube. B'S and D's aren't always bettter or worse. Had the pick of a few and just went for the brightest. Use a laser illuminator. Penlight size. I use pvs 7 d night vision binoculars fwith a 3 times mag for scanning. You can use the monocular as it gives a greater field of vision than when on the rifle. Plus as you know, not a good idea to be scanning with your rifle. Takes 5 seconds to get it on and off the rifle even inthe dark. Only need to adjust the focus to infinity when putting it back on, less than 5 seconds. Fox eyes off the rifle probably 300 yds with a laser illuminator Fox e

New generation 3 grade C tube fitted in March by Julian of Starlight, comes with case, scope mount and various bushes to fit scopes. will fit most scopes.

Will take rabbits out to 220 yds, foxes out to 300. This is not shooting at the eyes, target is clearly defined. This scope can b

Get your bird really fit in the first year, as much hunting as possible, then put it away in an aviary, feed lots of quail and rabbit, and it will be fine the following season. Basically, if you get it fit it will stay fit, if you don't then it won't. The more work you put in the more performance you will get. Don't

What a great idea, pay out that much money for a grade C archer and then have to play blue peter to make bushes out of cardboard. Glad you liked the idea mole catcher. Bushes for certain scopes are sometimes hard to get, and I would rather make something that fits perfectly than piss around with something that isn't right. I've got a plastic bush for the 17 and made bushes for the 223 and 22250 and there is no difference between them apart from the cost and time taken to get it. Blue peter mode was fastter. Glad to see sarcasm is still going strong in England.

Bit of disbelief there Bry? more than welcome to come out and see for yourself. Have a nice weekend.

Starlight Archer is great value for money. Versatile, fits all scopes, takes rabbits to 220 yds with laser illuminator. Used it on 17 hmr 223 and 22.250. Have the option of buying stuff from the states but Archer can't be beaten for the price, backup, and versatility.

.22-250 load and general questions.
gyrfalcon replied to TOMY,HMR's topic in Reloading and Gun Maintenance
Snap shots covered it all well. I use both a 40g nos ball tip and a 50 grain. in a rem 700 22.250 All depends what I'm shooting at and where. 40 g. dissolves corvids, and stays inside geese and foxes at 100 plus yds, so reducing risk of ricochet. 50 will rip a fox open up to 300yds. 50 more stable in heavy wind. Lighter bullet and heavier load will tend to make bullet disintegrate, so far never heard a ricochet with the 40, no doubt it could happen one day, but have when using 50's. Backstop should be as big and sandy as possible, always scout the shooting area in daytime, look at the ground, -
With regard to the Archer, very good bit of kit. Bushes can be made from stiff cardboard and masking tape, just as good as the plastic bushes and can be customised for each type of scope. There is some stuff coming in from the states, but the Archer is very versatile, fits any scope, tried and tested, and grade d tubes are fine. Currently taking rabbits with head shots at 220 yds with illuminator. fitted to 17 HMR.
