usually catch loads but it was so bright haha

It's 22 inches. Been cut back a little after getting rethreaded from the first time.

It's quite simple really. So the rifle is just a section 1 rifle like other sporting rifles. I've used this area as a testing range for many years and the rifle has a top end moderator making it remarkably quiet so it sounds just like any moderated centerfire. There's no restrictions preventing people setting up a temporary range so long as you comply with the principals of the 28 day rule, but the onus is placed squarely on the firer to ensure safety of all shots fired which is where you need to carefully assess your range for suitability and do have your risk assessments done and range order policies! But certainly yes I'm shooting directly away from the road in a controlled environment with safety my prioriy at all times. Cheers!

@@letshuntdinner Are you absolutely sure this is true?? I heard a story off a mate regarding some idiot losing his ticket for doing just that and not following his FAC conditions . Presumably you must have the 50BMG authorised for deer stalking in the UK? Otherwise it is ranges with a safety certificate for high muzzle energy cartridges only! The trouble is that one person acting irresponsibly could soil the bed for so many others !!

@@Srriflery9681so yes, The conditions I have were drafted by the chief inspector to specifically allow me to do what you see in the video. I mean sure, the onus in on me to ensure safety and I have commercial insurance with RA and RO policies but testing with this rifle is not an issue.

Well, to be fair i'd stopped using 308 with lead free because the performance wasn't good enough with the bullet options available. But the design I've worked on is just better and acts much more like lead so my confidence is back for using 308 and yeah lead free is OK so long as you use my bullets lol

would i possibly be able to get some info from you regarding referencing 308 lead free bullets you recommend, as now a few of the forestry companies stipulate only lead free and although ive had decent kills with rws 308 its not great@@letshuntdinner

@@stevenobrien_22-250 in fairness, any bullet is going to work if it goes in the right place but compared to lead the flight distance when chest shooting deer is on average a lot lot further. So for 308, the best results were always with the lightest fastest options like 110gr Barnes ttsx but they just didn't match lead. On cost you just can't beat the ppu Z Grom bullet which is their grom hunting bullet with a part tin core. They are meant for boar really but however you cut it shooting lead free you need a dog!. The UltraGame bullets I've been working on were to get lead like performance from lead free and so far they're delivering as you can see haha. Just reds to shoot and that's all the testing done so can get them on the market.

what exactly are you trying to ask...? All i'm doing is sharing my experiences and doing things a bit different... I was having a great time with great friends hunting with something different that was a challenge sure because of its size and weight but just pure awesome to shoot.

Yeah, real smacks but also really interesting is you see the remnant of the bullet hitting the ground after a couple of shots and big splashes as it continues to break apart when hitting ground after exit. Never seen that with all the ones I shot with Ttsx 😮

Thanks 👍cheers buddy!

yeah, with the lead ban problem coming I started working on a copper design that would work as near as lead as I could get. Pretty much all of the lead free stuff just doesn't dump energy like lead core stuff so the design I've been working on aims to fill that gap. Cheers!

cheers!

been so busy since I became a dad and a grandad!

Yes, was shooting 620gr hollow points there. All the bullet designs are ready but the website and manufacturing for commercial volume needs sorted. Cheers!

​@@letshuntdinner I'm interested to try them and see how they compare with various offerings currently on the market. Out of interest, are you offering them for 6.5 and what weight? They'd be cooking out of my PRC but the same could be said for my rem mag 😂

7mm 120gr and 6.5 110gr... well at mo anyway!

Never seen out like it..

Yeah so, it's important to be clear about this so people don't think you can just get a bmg on an open ticket and normally such a calibre is specifically conditioned for range only as part of being a member of named organisations! The conditions that are placed on your FAC generally relate to your good reason and in my case due to land I have to carry out 50 cal bullet design testing I can use off range too of suitable land. But also, specifically for taking abroad hunting which for me leads up to big pest species in Africa and the US hopefully later this year!

Gotcha, so your SR is hunting big game abroad, it's not conditioned for anything in the UK, but you have the caveat that you can essentially zero it on private land just for ammunition and bullet testing. Fair enough. @@letshuntdinner

Well, lead down range pound for pound it's the cheapest!

haha, we've got smaller species than that!

Yeah, it was light starter charges of ramshot hunter only 56gr and 58gr I think but shows in the vid I think

hahahahaha

The bullets are ready, just building up data and looking for best manufacturer for commercial production. Would like them to have been on shelves already! Shouldn't be long but will need a month.

Well sure, depends on what you're shooting

Because that's the biggest set of tusks I've ever seen on a boar. It would have been a gold medal class trophy of a lifetime. Sometimes you have to appreciate the ones that get away.

cheers! just working on manufacturing costs to make sure I can get them on shelves at a competetive price.

Thanks!
