Bore Snake = Rubbish? Or Is It Me?
blackfox replied to Beefbeefbeef's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
I had the exact thing happen many moons ago, i hate these with a passion. Mine snapped half way through the bore. The only thing they will achieve is to remove some loose fouling, that is it. Get a good quality - rod, jag, patches, brush & a bottle of Shooters Choice -
Rick, i use Federal Gold Medal Match primers in my .308 Shoots sweet, i use the same but Small Rifle in the .204 too

Mass produced barrels are not lapped (google barrel lapping) It is good practice to run a barrel in. You do not need to clean it while zeroing :)I If i did that with the .204 it wouldn't shoot for shit. Well it probably would, just not to the usual standard.

.22 Allowed But .17Hmr Not Allowed
blackfox replied to Beefbeefbeef's topic in Rimfire, Centrefire & Shotguns
Hmmmmm i find that a little srange, in Somerset i would be very suprised if you requested a .22lr & .17hmr and were denied the .17 It could be worth getting in touch with BASC about this http://www.basc.org.uk/en/departments/firearms/ -

I often wonder just how folks get on first we range find the animal then work out the drop and adjust the scope then dope the wind then awwwwwww f**k its gone lol For me its quite simple identify what you consider your maximum distance you can accurately shoot to then zero the rifle at the distance which gives the flattest trajectory to you maximum range Danw, its horses for courses, float your boat etc. I enjoy playing with some longer range stuff, if your shooting a rabbit at 400yrd+ the chances are it is not going to know you are there. Generally most shooters can judge dista
