I and a few friends (two couples and one more woman) did it for four years on 45 acres in southern France many years ago. It is entirely possible though you will still have to buy stuff like salt, tea and pepper (depending on where you are). We had 15 acres of forest which we used for heating and co...

Looks great ES.

I might have to try that 25.6 myself as I also have those pills

In general springers are much quieter than PCP's.

Just my 2c worth. For learning how to shoot a springer is the best bet as you really have to get a consistent and good technique to shoot them well.

No. I researched it a great deal when buying my .223/308 earlier this year and decided not too bother. If I was shooting for competition then I would. But then I would also wear my lucky socks and clean my fingernails in the same order as that time I got a perfect score. NOT saying it's superstition...

The max I used so far is 25.0 (with 55gn Speer, SuperRoo's and Nosler Ballistic) and I can feel the powder moving up and down a little but can't hear anything. (I've got quite bad tinnitus.)

I am also working up .223 loads with 2206H, but with a variety of pills.
I'd be very interested in your results and will also try to post mine when I can find time to get to the range.

Mine arrived today too.
They look great, thanks very much mate.

Thanks for keeping us up to date.
Looking forward to getting them.

Cheers Ben,

thanks for you and your mates efforts on or behalf.

can't wait to try these out.

Not yet.
He was going away for a bit so I guess we have to be patient.

I'm thinking of putting diopter rear sights on my R1 with a ring front sight.

If anyone has any that they are not using any more I would love to buy them (provided they are not $100's)
