No reason why not, unless it is berdan primed which I highly doubt. Hornady brass is meant to be good. Get some Lapua match brass.Quote:

Very nice! Thinking about one of those as an option for my next rifle too.
R93 offroad .223 with a Gunworks fitted true flight 1:9 sg 22" fluted barrel. TuiMan carbon sleeved supp.
I use SS109 Nato brass with 26 grns BMII and hornady 55gr sp. Chronied at 3260fps with a 15fps ES.
It is my favorite setup for spring and summer fringe hunting. Gets the odd varmit as well.:thumbsup:

This one had 2 mates with him on dusk last night that ran right up to 10 yards from me on the shot and milled around a bit. I was too slow with digging my camera out of my daybag.
Just went for a wee walk to set up a cam. I love dopey spikers. Makes for easy venny.

Is there whitebait in those rivers?
Not this far up. It gets black and gutty buy the time it gets this far. But yes, the lower reaches do very well.Quote:

15 mins to good whitebaiting. Its the West Coast man, mountains are close to the sea.:D
Sounds good

New toy! Howa 1500 .223
Needs a scope upgrade however!
Change the stock out to man, get a Boyds.
Oh that looks nice
Yeah, considering that, got one on my 7mmRM, seems to shoot ok though (5mm group at 50m, haven't been able to get it to the range yet and shoot at 100, just a quick sight in the backyard!), just got to wait a while for the wife to settle down! They don't understand why you need more than one rifle! Just makes no sense to them!Quote:

Say its a 7mm projectile, a great group such as the one described has the tip of the projectiles entering the paper within a 5 mm circle, the resulting hole/cluster will have a total of 7mm added to it due to the projectile having 3.5 mm of width either side of its forward most point/tip, called a meplat.
So when you shoot a tight group measure the ragged hole from its greatest outermost edges, then subtract the calibre you are using (7mm) and you have your group size.
Groups are measured centre to centre.Quote:

The other way is to use a Kreiger barrel.
my brother used to say "i want a full body tattoo of myself....only taller" (random memory ha ha)
Haha, where did that come from?:wtfsmilie:Quote:

Finally. My Grand Slam turned up from Optics Planet. 6-20x
Took it out yesterday, couldn't get a decent group but it was blowing like hell so gave up on trying to get a good group. Save it for the range. I just plinked at some steel plates at 200m instead. Good fun.

carry 3 at once :P yup I shoot them in my hunting game alot the bark all the time really annoying, Hey does that suppressor do much in noise reduction?
Yes they are a bit lighter than carrying Reds out:)Quote:

That thing looks small but hey, if it works. Would a over barrel suppressor be better do you think?
Nice setup you have there rayzor. That supressor is suprisingly small. Great cal. too, definately an all rounder.
I bet those Roe deer back legs would roast up a treat! :yum:
Have used T8 moderators and yes they do a good job but really impressed with my S5 moddie;)Quote:
