HI, can anybody tell me if there is a difference in the build of a 25gn berger varmint bullet and a 25gn berger target bullet? ( both hollow points) reason i ask is because i can buy target bullets by post but not varmint bullets Thanks KB.

Hi silverfox, not concerned about state of fur, just want best 25 gn. bullet to get inside to minimise splash wounds. Read somewhere else that 17 HMR penetrates well before fragmenting but those speeds would be too slow. As for 'yotes i'm in uk and we don't have any, not that i've heard of anyway.We...

Hi clover_shooter, thanks for enlightening me on that....I've never seen anyone shoot from a bench nor do i know anyone who uses a bench as i've always been a walkabout shooter. Did'nt think i was going to get a reply, people probably thought it was so stoopid a question. LOL thanks again KB.

the word awesome would'nt be out of context there KB

hi Walleyman, Ithink you hit the nail on the head there, a lot of people,me included think it's weight and not length( Rick put me right a few weeks ago) that determines wether a bullet stabilizes or not. I did not know that the 45g was shorter than the lighter bullet. My ruger n 1 shot 32 and 40 gr...

Joe,iwish you'd posted that yesterday as i just ordered and paid for 30gn from Midway, me not knowing any better.KB.

Hi Walleyman, very nice......you must be one lucky man to have a 12 twist that suits a bullet range from 32 through to 45 grains. cheers KB.

Just about to order some 25 grain .172 dia. bullets to shoot fox ,which is best choice, hornady v max or berger hollow points. thanx KB.

HI Rick, thanks for quick reply and great pics.as usual....Remingtons catolog shows two fireballs with 9 twist and two with 12 twist.. can't believe any as they already said they had typos in the brochure.Would you like to pass comment on wether there is a 17 bullet to smoke a fox or not, we're talk...

Please can somebody explain to me what free-recoil is and also a hard hold shooting position? thanking you. KB

Hi everyone, i noticed that one or two people have posted about 17 calibres and wondered if anyone has any experience of wether the standard factory barrels will stablize all the different bullet weights available. In England where i live Midway can supply 20...25...and 30grain bullets. Does anyone ...

Hi there Don. me to about 75% of the time... so frustrating

Hi Wiiings12, my 5 cents worth is get one with a third turret, those with a twisty bit at the front are a pain to adjust easily. cheers kenB.

Hello Rick, very interesting post, almost but not quite wished i'd kept my number 1. I'm not able to do my own gunsmith work and GOOD gunsmiths are thin on the ground over here and the best are always very busy (been told by a one that you can't float the forearm on a number one!) I don't reload amm...

Rick, good to hear you're feeling good, assumed you might have been done already as you had'nt posted for a couple of days. That picture would be double paradise if you could find anything like it in uk, it's the stuff of dreams. What does the ruger number one shoot like? I had one in 204R laminate ...
