Guys thanks for all the replies this is all very helpful. It's hard to reply to all the posts. There is alot of stuff to digest before making a decision. I don't like making a rush decision that's why I like try to find out as much information here as possible first that's why I ask the...

Thank you, I've never heard of this make before. I will certainly have I look at these also.

Thank you.

Sorry if this seems like a stupid question but the different twist rates. Could you give me a quick run over the basics. Here's a picture of the rifle I was thinking of.

OK thanks that's good to know thank you.

OK thank you. I am shooting in Ireland and the problem is the fields are small that's why there is no big shots. With the 222 sometimes a follow up shot is needed and you don't have much time because they can get cover very quickly that's why i like the 222 because you can see the hits. Will I...

Yes i did read the book and then worked my way up. Probably loaded around 100 rounds. My main fault/problem has been very poor record keeping and probably not enough experience to understand pressure signs. Where I've hit my problem I had been working away overseas and hadn't been loading for...

Ok OK thanks for that, at the moment my max loads are sitting at 47 so its under, I've cooked up about 50 rounds. I've another 100 rounds sitting ready at 46.9 I was going to try open them all but I'll now reload more starting low at work my way up to 47 again and if I can see changes I'll put...

This is the book the guy sold me and gave me the 47 maximum

This is what the guy sold me

Oh ok, I wasn't sure thanks. I never used one before I'll look that up.

O That's all I could get in the shop for 308.
