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?

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. Yawn!

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.

Cheers, Bruce

Yeah, but do you still get a week off after nights in the Prison Service?

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.....

i have some speer 7mm 145 gr hot cor. some 7mm 130 gr hot cor. some 6mm berger 62 gr target (hp...useful for foxing)

In short no.

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.


Doz,

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

No problems. Hope you have some luck with them.
