Marcus this thread got a bit derailed. The point is to offer what you have to anyone that wants them, not as a direct trade, free participation.

If every one does that then the pool of projies is massive. I give you something you need, someone else gives me what I need etc etc.

So I hope everyone is listening.

Aaaah right, sorry about that. The thread title is a bit confusing then.

Around 12-15 would give enable me to test 4 or 5 powder increments if you can spare that many. I'll PM my address.

Bits and pieces I can offer include:

20 cal 34gn Nosler shots FBHP
224 cal 35gn vmax
224 cal 40gn HP (22mag projies)
224 cal 52gn HPBT Nosler custom competition
224 cal 55gn Win FMJ
224 cal 55gn Nolser shots SP
224 cal 55gn Sierra SP (roo load)
243 cal 75gn Speer HP (these have a huge HP cavity at the front)

5 will do! Just need to suss out a few things in regards to the size and shape of them. The idea (that I'm kinda stealing from dad) is a 7mm-300WSM when I shoot out the barrel in my 300WSM. I figure if I can throw the same weight projectiles with a better BC, why not? Gotta see how they'll fit in the mag first and go from there. Will be looking at doing it within a year if I keep shooting rabbits with the 300 haha.

I've got stuff all to trade, are you interested in 30 cal 180gr TTSX's, 110 Vmax's or 185gr VLD hunting projectiles?

I fully understand where you are going with this.
Calibre vs cartridge
I am guessing being a Navy man you also get irritated by people calling a rifle a gun?

Nah Dave, I'm very ok with others showing their ignorance if they want to. :lol: :lol: Cartridges and calibres being two totally different things, at least rifles and guns are similar.

"This is my rifle (holding SLR above head arms extended), this is my gun (lowering arms and holding crutch), this is for shooting (arms up again) this is for fun (again grabbing crutch)" all the while double timing around the parade ground. I watched too many recruits going through this routine, to get that basic one wrong. :lol: :lol:
