..... Berger had reduced the twist rate on the 215s from 1:9 to 1:10. Early boxes of these said "Minimum twist 1:10", last lot I bought said "Optimum twist 1:9". I find 2720fps from a 1:9.5 is doing it for me and that's what I'm taking to the UK this month. Never tried them in a...

As I understand it , that is dependant on spin rate being suitable from the start. Spin will slow more slowly than the bullets forward motion will, so the bullet remains stable. I don't know if it becomes 'more' stable as the ratio of spin to forward motion increases but I guess it's possible. Spot...

Unless I've got this wrong - which HAS happened in the past - the bullet becomes more stable as it slows down in flight.

Just a point of clarification Craig, are you forming one selection sub-committee or four? I'd have thought one was enough but the more I read the notice the more it reads like one for each discipline.

I've used the carbon remover and it seems to work fine. However, I did notice it also dissolves copper as the patches were coming out with a green tinge. I've only got the carbon remover so can't check but I think I saw somewhere that the carbon and copper products are the same stuff, just a higher...

One of the things I like about our sport is that men and women compete equally. I don't think we need a separate class for them. I DO think we need decent toilet facilities near the firing point.

Wasn't that Portnoy's Complaint David? Admittedly quite a few years since I last read Catcher in the Rye so I could be wrong in that.

Looks like great fun but, sadly, the MR team will be in the UK then. Maybe next year.....

And three of them got the lot today!!! A very interesting morning ahead tomorrow - much can happen at the longs.

I think it doesn't matter what you call it.

Final results aren't posted yet but Steve Negus dropped three on the final range and led by four. He'd be a happy man.

From a picture I saw I gather you rose to the challenge!!

The instructions on Boretech C4, which I use and like, state that it contains a SHORT TERM (my emphasis) rust preventative. Noting Keith's comments above it would be helpful to know where the boundary between short and long terms lies - not to me though, I store them with Hoppes No9.

The South Africans are great hosts and run an excellent shoot.

A search on "bore cleaner lead removal" will produce more advice than you can use!!
