The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Hello,

Just joined (first ever forum actually). I've been shooting full bore for last 10 years or so. Mainly informal target with older military plus a couple of more moderen rifles. Looking forward to chatting with like minded shooters.

Great you joined up, welcome to the forum.

Own any rifles of your own?

Hi and welcome.

Come, come - share. Where do you shoot and what do you have?

Please note - the correct answer is " I shoot .303" :cheers:

Regards
T

Welcome to the forum, Mossy!

Thanks for the welcome.

I have an 1917 SMLE, an old 0.303 sporter, a 7.92 x 57 K98K, 6.5 x 55 Sako 85, a 0.308 built on a Lawton action (pacnor barrel, jewel trigger, A5 stock) a .22LR Sako Quad and hopefully a Martini Henry due to be delivered in the next 3 weeks.
Will be seeking some guidance on reloads for the MH if there is anyone out there who shoots one.
I'm a member of the Aberdeen Full Bore Gun Club and have recently joined the CSSC (a bit closer to home).
I reload for all rifles except 0.22LR (obviously) and strangely enjoy doing it! Does that make me normal?

Welcome to our forum Mossy, we're a friendly bunch so don't be afraid to get stuck in

Welcome to the forum Mossy, sounds like a very nice collection - I have a soft spot for SMLE's having owned a 1915 No1 Mk3* - sadly no longer around. I am sure we have a few MH shooters on the forum so you should be able to pick up some information

Out of interest how did you stumble upon this forum?

Hi Mossy, greetings from down the road in Dundee. This is a great forum with a friendly, knowledgeable bunch.

Welcome along Iam sure you must be normal , well as normal as the rest of us . :55:
