Yes, it has taken me this long to realise.

Good pick up mate. Been a little worried about our team leader for a while now, he just doesn't seem normal but maybe he is just starting to show his real normal. :mrgreen:
Hasnt he just moved house Mark?. Probably still trying to convince the bride that all the rooms need christening.

Yeah I forgot about that, was thinking more along the lines of, "Got new car, no need for any more hanky panky" :lol: :lol:

Marcus it's Keith. Not a well known 20 cal fan with many comments to prove it. A bit like tony Abbott starting to promote a carbon tax of his own

Yep ... AI it if you like or push a 204R reamer in to make a 224Ruger; then shoot 40gr pills of Nosler, Hornady or Sierra make, or 35gr Nosler lead free BTs to your hearts content. :mrgreen:

204Ruger? Who needs it? :lol:
Cheers...

Hahaha, I am a well known backflipper. . .

Tikka's hated them, until I bought one now I have two and think they are pretty great. .

243 thought they were overrated and that they do everything ok but does nothing great style of cartridge - bought one but thought it was overrated and did everything ok but nothing great.

223/308, thought they were boring overly popular cartridges - they are but they work really well and thats why I own one of each.

204 - still don't understand the fervent vigour that you guys go on about them - I'm trying to learn though. But the main thing is to own yet another calibre.

Holdens - Would never buy one, not new anyway - I bought a new Holden...

Fuck what a hypocrite I am!
