    Cooling my heels on reloading for a bit...

    In Australia, even our local produced powders (H4350 in your country) is in short supply, my local offered to decant some for me 'to get me by' I said 'no thanks, save it for someone desperate who really needs it, I've got other rifles to shoot'

    supporter fiction v facts: Ruger v Tikka

    I've had 4 Tikka T3s. Triggers are excellent, accuracy has been good to excellent. This 204 (picture about 1,200 rounds into its life) has just started to open up to 3/4" accuracy and borescope reveals the rifling is getting tired. It's taken a lot of foxes! I never liked the sloppy, gritty...
