    I hope you have reported that hazard to the forum OH&S coordinator.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    And how many Hail Mary's will it take to absolve you of that?

    Rushy - go and shoot a bit, save all the brass, send it to me in 6 weeks and ill load the lot of you at cost.

    Re: the scope - set it up at 3/4 max power IMO
    It's more in the 'box' of normal range and if you go higher, it's only a small position adjustment with your neck
    When you forget to increase mag and shoot 800yds on 15 power you'll soon wonder why you even bother with 20+

    Thanks Spanners I appreciate the offer. It is a testimony to the spirit of this forum that you and a number of other members have been prepared to be so helpful. I appreciate it greatly and am humbled by each of your generosity.

    No dramas
    We load so much ammo that its not an issue to set up for it on one of 6 odd setups
    My only stipulation is you have your own set of dies with your name on them for your gun.
    I can sort does for you if needed
