Re Metswedi

Sorry I have been absent frm the site for a day or two.

Results are slowly starting to come through, I have gone up a click to a 120 grain ballistic tip, Callum set it up for 100 grains as he was instructed but I am ever one to tinker around.

with 120 BT's and 58 grains of Vhit 165, when I last shot it 5 rounds went into 5/8" and I am certain the only thing from stopping that being under 1/2" was me!

I suppose for top accuracy it sould use the 140 grainers but it has a deliberately short throat for the 100 and 120's and would need the throat reaming to take the longer 140's, as they say- if it aint broke don't mend it.

I have been getting some good (accuracy wise that is) results in my .270 with the 130 Barnes TSX, out of my light barreled rifle 3 shots into just under 5/8. compare this to the older "X" bullets of 3 shots into 8 inches (yes 8), it is a totally different bullet, just need to try it on our deer species here.

Other than that work has been keeping me from the range lately, (that and the cold miserabvle weather, the older I get the greater the comfort I enjoy!!) The local range (Pickering) opens for business in April so all need to be in order for then.

I have a new .300 win Mag on order, posisbly here for then but as the chain of supply is from the U.S via Germany things may slow down a little.

Have you done much shooting lately?

Regards

Jonathan
