I said I would show him a few local places when he is nxt having a chew on his pudding. I'll sucker him into lifting all the heavy stuff to help us move while I make out like I am doing something else. I hear he is a big boy and good at lifting things I ll then send him up the Styx for a look, its not that popular of a spot eh?

You look reasonably fit in that photo Adam. Was it after ya guts almost fell out when you were crook or before?

Two weeks after you popped into mine that night

That doesnt read too good bro. It should say 2 weeks after I called round your place, too grace you with my presence! It otherwise reads like I popped into something else


Anyway, we should stay on Red Bangs topic. I am terrible for wandering. I still reckon its action/barrel movement but it is not bad.

I possivly agree isnt savages barrels held on via a barrel nut? That combination not under correct tension could lead to slight movement....

HBN takes all that hassle away. Reduces ES and no where near as messy. Definitely not as slippery as moly but.

Kiwi Greg put me onto it ages ago. He has been using it longer and may have more light to shed on it than I.
I just know it is good stuff and I have never had a visable trace of coppering since using it in quality barrels.
Dont even get a patch come out coated in anything but carbon.

Adam had issues with it wet to poi changes so gone away from it now apart from his range guns?

I have had no problems to speak of, wet or dry.
Adam likes to tutu.
I dunked some rounds in the river, shook briefly and fired groups consistent enough to my MPI with my .223 and 6.5-06. This was after he told me he had experienced this. He must have got shrimp guts or something else on them.

Hunted in the rain for 3 days first .. poi change of 2" at 100m with or without.... 200 rounds with an no fouling.. Good stuff but also bad stuff... I hbn my range warriors and stay naked on my hunting stuff now... Much more consistant.... Single digit freaky es with hbn is tge norm tho....

Na, there isint, got the cook to have a look and there still is only cobwebs

Any developments on your issue Red?

Going to take it apart tomorrow and check recoil lug thingy and give it the once over for any shiny marks anywhere.

I did get a half turn on the front rail mount and 1/4 on the rear, but just put that down to settling in with everything being new. Don't think it would have caused the problem.

The Norma cases are coming up to x3 reloads with no issues as yet, which is pleasing, and haven't had any pressure signs either. The speeds for my loads are consistent with internet data. So, considering all things it's looking like a mechanical problem right enough, as has been pointed out.

I'll be paying closer attention to body position, and swap shooters to see where the problem emerges or goes away.

If it's still there at the next shoot it'll be a bedding job.

Thanks for the interest folks, I'll keep ya posted. . . .
