I only have one boat rod tho. My boy skyped me yesty and snapped his trout rod on snag using 9lbs line, the day I left. He may need a 25-50kg weight boat rod for trout fishing, the mutton

Ment to say you wont need anything, Have enough gear to fill a small dingy. If you manage to break one of my trolling / jigging rods your eyes might water a bit

Shit!!! I will buy some rods at the Wharehouse for my boy then!!

I was thinking more about expansion. The 55 Barnes can pencil at longer ranges and I think the 62 Barnes would be worse. Just thought the swifts might be a bit softer at longer range. Have you got the 62 grn swifts?

What about the Nosler 64gr Solid Base bullet, lower BC but I think the expansion would be beter.

Just found a full unopened box of Hornady 75gn A-Max projectiles and a part box.
Don't work to well in a "rattle gun" as they need to be seated too deep, (almost past the start of the Ogive) to fit in the mag
Should work in a bolt gun OK

You want to trade??

No thanks mate. I have no use for a 75gr .224 bullet. I will bring up a sample for you when I get up to grab my gear.

Don't worry about sending me some to try, think I have some sorted.

I can take those 75s off your hands & hook you up with some Sirrocos

Too late I have given them away to a new shooter, but if you PM me a price for the 62g .224's and also a box of 130g 6.5 I could be interested.

My other and (usual source) has had a schedule change so not thru LAX as often as the previous once a fortnight
