    Magnetite liked post by grandpamac On thread : Playing with some Redding Competition Shell Holders
    Greetings Magnetite, Definitely an option which I use for my 6.5 x 55. For multiple rifles like my .308's it becomes tiresome. Even 1/16th of a turn of the die is over 0.1mm or .004 inches. I guess...

    Greetings Sanctuary and All, Thanks for your kind remarks Sanctuary. My son dropped in last night with some of his flash handloading bits for me to play with. He is currently using a .308 Barnard...

    Greetings Beetroot, I am way over 25 but still favour metres, FFP and mrad. For most of my working life I worked in metric and one of my last tasks was taking of metric quantities from feet and...

    caberslash liked post by grandpamac On thread : Sighting 200 yards at 100 yards
    Greetings sheep, To me the best way to sight in at 200 yards (or 200 metres in my case) is to put the target at 200 yards. Otherwise you will only be guessing. If you expect to shoot at longer...
