:lol:

For my 257 I tried H4895, Varget, H414 before trying Ramshot Hunter. H414 and Hunter are about on par with each other on performance but the Hunter is cheaper and meters better. It sounds expensive but the H4895 and Varget were leftovers from previously owned rifles. It's all part of the game!

Badger, if it was simple mate it would be boring. Though saying that sometimes when you are load developing you hit the sweet load first time around, other times it can get real frustrating (and expensive) trying to find a load for a particular gun but then that's half the fun of it and it gets you out shooting.

We like simple.

We're a simple kreecher.

Boring and gunpowder we can live with.

Exciting and gunpowder sounds frightening to us.

Agree 100% :good: There were times I wanted to tear what was left of my hair out with the 257 but yesterday made it all worthwhile. Great birthday present to myself! party2

Now that's interesting - would a family membership cover myself and my 20yo student sone (aka BlackburnBuccaneer - he's a member here)?

Can you give me contact details for Strathpeffer club please.

Now now Badger, no one used the word "exciting". What was said was that it can sometimes be frustrating trying to find that sweet load. That is some of the fun of it because it gets you out on the range shooting trying to find that sweet load and more trigger time is some of the good times.

Technically yes, family membership would cover you both.
We're on the t'internet, or you could pm me 'cos I'm the Secretary.

Always happy to have another soul onboard.
