    Well lets hope so. I went for a medical for my 75 year olds drivers licence renewal today. I did not do so well on the memory tests but still enough to pass. Eye sight, however, easily passed...

    Greetings, Those scopes look pretty basic compared with what is available today. There is no doubt that there is a lot of flash kit available now that was not 12 years ago but how much of it fills...

    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Sako Vixen .222 Load
    Greetings, I think that data is for the .222 Rem Mag and not the .222 Rem. ADI shows a max load of 19.5 grains of AR2207 for 3,017 fps at 45,300 CUP for the .222 Rem. Regards Grandpamac.

    Greetings blip, Good point about a new barrel. Those Mohawks are getting a bit long in the tooth for a barrel burner like the .243. On the powders you first mentioned all should be fine with IMR4064...
