Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

I traveled from Suffolk to shoot at Bisley only to realize that I had left my ammunition at home!

I bought some .303 from Fultons which shot very well. BUT... I was in a rush and did not really look at what I was buying.

The ammo was reloaded HXP brass with match king heads. All was well until a case parted on extraction leaving me with a broken case in chamber and a out of service rifle!

Unusual to hear of case failure with HXP brass, it's just about the best quality .303 brass around. If you said S&B then I wouldn't have been surprised.

A quick fix to remove a broken case, is to put a cleaning rod down the bore from the muzzle into the mag well and attach a suitable sized bronze cleaning brush, pull the brush back into the case and then tap the case out.
No need for `fancy` case extractors!

I've heard he lures people into said cave and eats them, too.
