If anyone has a few 69gn .224 Matchkings or Scenars going spare that I could try I'd be grateful. I have a dozen or so 53gn Matchkings (Sierra no. 1400) that I can offer in exchange.
Cheers, Bruce

I have some SMK80's but they need a 1:8 twist to stabilise, I may have some skinny A Max's though if that helps?Doz wrote:If anyone has a few 69gn .224 Matchkings or Scenars going spare that I could try I'd be grateful.

Re: Bullet exchange
I think I have some 69gn Matchkings that I no longer use - I'll check and PM you. Just don't be a rush as I'm on Night Shift so everything will take a bit longer this week.Doz wrote:If anyone has a few 69gn .224 Matchkings or Scenars going spare that I could try I'd be grateful.

Re: Bullet exchange
Thanks chaps. Unfortunately my barrel is only around 1:9.5 so wouldn't stabilise those heavier bullets ovenpaa but thanks very much for the offer. I'll hang on and see if Sandgroper has the 69 grainers.

Yeah, but do you still get a week off after nights in the Prison Service?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Bullet exchange
If SG doesn't have any, I know I do have........ but, mine are buried under the contents of my garage, which is actually in the garden shed since the building work started!!! So if needs be, I could get some to you, but it would be a while....
I really need to get the garage sorted.....

Our N/S starts on a Tuesday so a long weeknd before starting. Finish on Tuesday morning and half the N/S is back in on Wednesday for training :evil: (day shift, if you're lucky) and then the rest of the week off. Every third N/S you're on leave for the following week.
We are the only Establishment, I know of the operates this way. The other Establishments I been at, it's week on N/S, week off.
Not the best, but not too bad either.

Re: Bullet exchange
I'm now sorted, thanks very much indeed to Sandgroper. I still have the 53gn Matchkings available if anyone wants to try them.
