Hi rem700,

Thankyou, that's what I like about this hobby, it's OK to like different things sure would be boring if we all wanted exactly the same.

At one time I didn't want a Parker-Hale rifle as I find the BSA actions so much smoother but P-H has a better trigger now I have 4 P-H rifles and am wondering if they are breeding?

Yesterday evening I sixed the 100 new R.P cases for the 6mm and then trimmed them to 2.220 so they all cleaned up. I then this morning weighed 20 of them and took the average which was 170.94 grns and went =/- 1% and weighed the rest. Doing this I culled 7 cases now it's time to choose a load, bullets are Sierra 70 grn HP MatchKings primers are Rem 9 1/2. Now for powders it's between :-

Varget
BLC-2
Rel 15
Rel 19

Oh the barrel is 24" long!

On hand I have more i.e several tubs of both BLC-2 and Rel 19 and would rather use them if possible as the price of powder here is ridiculas how about $57 US a 1lb tub hence I want to use what I have.

Then all I need to do is find somewhere to shoot having moved not too long ago it's proving a problem even the locla club is not having a range day this year and I doubt one in January so it means travelling and just now money is tight Oh well I will figure something out in the end I suppose.
