AusVarmint

It still throws reliably, it doesn't take long to warm up, and I've learnt to tap the feed tube with a pencil if it throws light and an extra tenth of a grain falls out. :D Bloody good tip mate! If I ever get out of the house again to shoot enough to reload I will try it out! I have issues with min...

I have the 50gn model and I like them. Not as good as the Nosler BT in my rifle but accurate enough and value for money. I might be able to get them shooting better but I have not had time to shoot for months now.

I always dent the case neck in my .223 if I eject quickly. If I am not doing a quick follow up I slowly pull the bolt back and I never dent one. But as others have said if you are still getting a dent, get it checked out. Is clambering/locking hard? I did have a problem of my reloads being difficult...

Baring in mind you have only shot a 22, forget all about reloading until you are proficient with your shooting rimfires. After you get a centre fire, learn to shoot that, then worry about reloading. Good advice! It also really depends on what volumes you are shooting. When I was a single bloke, I w...

Hmmm. Cannot find the aerosol can stuff in Australia and they want huge money for shipping from Canada. Might be thinking a whole lot more about this!

I was more thinking of using it to aid cleaning. Swabbing the barrel after it's clean is supposed to aid in cleaning. The bloke in the cleans with a bore snake and only cleans every couple of hundred shots.

I am not really planning on coating bullets.

Hex Boron Nitride. I saw a clip on YouTube about using coated bullets in this stuff and the bloke was getting a decrease in velocity spread from cold to warm barrel, easier barrel cleaning and potential longer barrel life. I have no idea if it is useful for corrosion protection but the bloke said it...

Looks pretty simple to me and bloody hell if I get to shooting much again I will be getting one of these things! They look bloody great!

Ok by the sounds of it that's about the rate! it's been so long since I bought some I can't remember now I much I used to pay.

Yeah been using your mix for a while adam and with the new cleaners it works really well. I am also cleaning the cases before de priming so I have clean cases to re size and then clean them again afterwards. Ever thought of getting a universal de-priming die? It saves that extra cleaning step, only...

I have been looking out for 8208 for ages, due to the stuff up that was Winchester taking over distribution, my local ammo bloke could never get the stuff so while in an ammo shop on the weekend I find some and said I will take some before even asking how much.......1kg $116...... :evil: bastards! I...

Thank you! Off to the GP for the weekend. But bloody work has me tied up today.

Don't ever try to calculate the amount spent on the second option there..... Nausea quickly follows.....

Never been interested in the bling thing with bang sticks. I have never been one for polishing and shining rifles so a bland looking tube is no bother at all. As long as they are accurate and easy to clean I don't care.
