A little more comprehensive than mine scribbled on the back of a napkin on my desk! I may have to use yours and edit to suit :)

Here it is in Word.

Thanks Watcher :)

Watcher, no shirt for the evening?

Ah! I did once end up chasing off to Sainsbury's for a shirt; probably why!

Issue 3 on its way!

hehe :)

Well in other news, 50 rounds now stocked, locked and ready to rock

I just preliminarily bore sighted the rifle too (using a street light at about 75 yards - no better landmarks to go by :( ) Hopefully I'll get on the board with my 2 sighters!!

I've just sat down to reload and I can't get any further than trimming as I don't have any holders! Anyone else ever done anything similar?

I don't believe I read this at the start of the week; and have done the same thing :roll: :lol:

...I went to load my first ever batch of 6.5s today, for use tomorrow - I've gathered all the bits (so I thought) over the last few weeks, even made a couple of dumies to check everything...then as I went to prime them, realised that the holder I was using for .303 doesn't hold a 6.5 :cool2: ...

...much swearing later, remembered that there was a priming attachment that came with my press - so ended up priming that way...Phew!

I've got as far as the BP garage up the road before realising my bolts were still locked in my ammo safe.

Someone i know got to the range and realised he'd left all his rifles sitting in his kitchen. :lol:

All's well that ends well though :)
