HPS will be in attendance at the Inter Counties match this weekend, it might be a good opportunity to pick up some ammo.

You'll find them in the White building at the top of the hill between the Surrey and the clay ranges.

Well that is inspiring fella. an akm/akms is on the list although i can't decide which.

Go for it all....... I did!!!!.I love my SVDS, it shoots nice with no extraction problems and has been ultra reliable but they are rare in the UK and mine is one of only a handful.

Very very nice.

Thank you

Regarding the 1:7 twist, mine didn't like the heavier stuff and shot best with 62gn surplus RG ammo - OK with 69 SMK's but not great - but each rifle is different.

1-in-7 twist should theoretically be OK for everything from 45 grains to 80+ grains, but as quite rightly noted above, every rifle is different.
