Wanna try some Hornady 55gn sp as well, have a shit load of them too.
Will try anything once :) (well almost anything).
Sounds good Mark. Can wait till long weekend. No point wasting cash on AustPost delivery costs.
Cheers,

Rob, I left those projectiles at Andyroo's place, discussions with His Holiness took place at the table, but I can remember what was the conclusion of those discussions. :oops: They may be at either residence. :shock:

You were probably wondering what the plastic baggy in your pocket contained, luckily there was no white powder. :wink:

So could be 1-12 or 1-9. Will be fun either way.

Hey Mick I could have brought some 60gr pills with me! I have some 60gr Vmax if you want some. There's some 60gr Nosler BTs as well somewhere. The Vmax will be fine in a 1-12 but ive heard the Noslers need a faster twist. Is it a 223? not sure if you mentioned that or not.

Last chance for the wobbly (your fault Mick 762) yes I said it was gone but I'll try one more thing.

Can anyone spare 15 25 cal hunting pills in the 100gn ish range. I'll try it as a proper long range hunting rifle before I ass it JUST ONCE!
