    I did that a young soldier. After a long and difficult training exercise we were cleaning machine guns and rifles when I used a 7.62 pull through on a 5.56 rifle (I blame tiredness). I realised what...

    77.6 grains of 2217 and 208 ELD-M does 2980 fps in mine. OAL is 3.5, Nosler brass, 215 GMM, 26” barrel, .6 MOA. Found them very easy to tune.

    I have written to my Labour MP asking for clarity on this issue. If it goes ahead, I have informed him that he will not get my vote at the next election. As we have no other form of effective...

    Thanks fellas - good points and perspectives. As I said, the .270 offerings lag behind the 6.5s and 7s, but are plenty good enough for most and certainly for me. I just bought a .270, so I’m...

    .......... and light and small as. Unlike the monstrosities I see on a American rifles, most of which have some bloody great camo thing with bungees wrapped around them, for some reason.

    You can borrow my Magnetospeed to get you true MV if that’s useful to you. Then you can tinker with BC to match your verified drops.

    Sorry - just saw this. I use a patch on an old bronze brush with Autosol soaked in. 20-30 strokes through the throat and a few through the rest of the barrel. I do that after a really good clean...

    RE22 is very temp sensitive too based on .25-06, .30-06 and .300 WM testing when I lived in the US. Temps there (Missouri) ranged from -23 to + 44 in my time, and although I didn’t test at such...

    At least you did prime them. I once filled 50 cases with powder before realising I hadn’t primed the cases.

    180 ELD-M in mine with 215 GMM primers and 67 grains of RE26 gives 2840 fps. Mine is throated long to give 91mm (from memory) OAL, so start lower and work up. Some say 180s are too heavy for 7...

    I cut mine in a line just above the teeth which takes the back of the skull off, allowing easy access to get brains out. Use a pressure washer to get bits off while still hot from the boil.
