My passion

[departed]

I'm another passionate shooter.

I've got a cz .204 for vermin and a howa .243 for larger species. I also have a coupe of rim fires and shotguns.

I'm into every type of shooting, game, pest control, wildfowling, target and stalking.

I've found that being in the tree business really really helps to get shooting permission.

 

Cheers!

Now since I've hopeful broken the ice as we say can you guys point me to which forums I should be looking at in understanding a tree surgeon and picking up useful information saving up so I may do my courses and qualify so I need something to occupy my brain

Whilst I have shot shotguns for 30 years I only got my FAC before Christmas and have bought a Uberti 1873 .38/.357 and a Marlin .22, both lever actions and have started reloading .38. Bought Lee gear and so far I've made 100 rounds and they've all gone bang when they're supposed to!!

 

Haven't got any scales at the moment, what type do you use Nikk? Are electric ones any good? My mate who set my gear up had some but they started playing up and we had to revert to his RCBS beam scales.

Hi rovers90 I use Lock and load Hornady electrical scales and Hornady beem scales as I always weigh the charge of powder on both scales.

RCBS beem scales are good, but I always use two different types just to double check it was the way I was taught !

How accurate do you find the powder dispenser?

 

I gave up using electric scales as I found any slight drafts (breeze) would cause the readings to fluctuate.

 

I sometimes use beam scales but again get annoyed trickling in powder, it's always one or two more/less grains of powder .

 

Now I use a Dillon progressive press, plenty accurate enough for my shooting needs and I can make up lots of rounds very quick, giving me more shooting time.

I find say using viht 165 the powder in my electric scales fine but using H335 powder just use beam scales electric to meny over charge thrown

Im getting a variation of .2grain using N160, not bad for the speed I can reload at. The difference it makes to my accuracy isn't really noticeable at the ranges I shoot. (25m😀)

Ha ha my mate used both the electronic and beam "Just to check!"

 

I'm loading powder with a Lee Auto Disc powder dispenser so it should through the same charge every time, seemed accurate enough when we set it up and checked ten rounds.

 

These were my first ten .38 rounds just the other week!
