All money down the drain though ultimately with those toys :(


Aren’t all our addictions money down the drain?
Fun = Money
More fun = More money QED.
But a one hole group is Priceless (To plagiarise an Add)
And doing it with your own personal hand loads is double priceless.
And “Browning” it looks like you’re on the way there.
Just shoot 8 shot groups ... like this;
1,2,3,4, ,6,7,8,9
No 5th shot no flyers :D
There's always room for at least one more gun in my safe.

Yeah, I like the grouping strategy.. Loaded up 200 rounds tonight so fingers crossed my aim is true next I'm at the range...
Thanks for the input guys

Seems we were both up to the same thing tonight so I'm assuming you're also in trouble with the missus :D I just finished loading 100 rounds of .375 Cheytac which I'll unload at the range on Monday. Probably easier though less fun if I leave the rifle at home, take 100 projectiles, primers, 2lbs of powder and throw it down the range. Same result apart from group size and I don't have to spend an hour cleaning a barrel... :D
How's my posting?

Is there any barrel left to clean after 100 rounds?

I would seriously love a .375 cheytac. It would be my fun "just because" rifle.

Want to shoot one hole groups and save money? Buy a PCP airgun, no brass to prep, no powder & projectiles to source which in my neck of the woods can be difficult at times, no barrels to clean then burn out and need to be replaced. Without having to do all that stuff leaves me with more drinking time :drinks:

Cheeper to take up darts Strikey ;)
But I know exactly what you mean, I keep my air rifle for exactly that purpose.
I wish I could shoot groups @100 as good as air @10

Amazing what happens when you take the shoot error / movement / wobble down by 90% :lol:
