Just as a quick heads up.. There seems to be some evidence that the 168 gr. bullet you can buy for reloading are harder/tougher than the bullet used in Barnes own ammunition. There is a thread on the Norwegian forum Kammeret whith extensive testing of many different bullets. Here is a snapshot...

I have had this happen with handloads that are too long. Pulling the lever pin solved the issue.

It is sadly not only wind turbines: "It is widely used across the industry, from large power stations to wind turbines to electrical sub-stations in towns and cities. It prevents electrical accidents and fires." https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-49567197

I have Skinner sights on my Winchester M70 Featherweight in 450 Marlin. I had to shim up the rear sight quite a bit, maybe 5-6mm. But I am very happy with the setup. I have a weaver base on the forward scope mount and I am thinking of mounting a Docter red dot with a quick release base.

@sestoppelman I have not heard Squearehead before, but no doubt it fit :-) You are correct, of corse. I havent been on the Trolls for a long time. I remember with some sense of awe lookin down almost 300 meters inside on of the concrete legs. And thanks again to all the nice welcomes!

Nei, begynner å skjønne det :-) Har du vore og jakta i afrika? Good to hear :-) There seems to be both bullets and brass available to me in Norway. I am just missing the "launch plattform" :-) Some day, maybe.

Thanks for the welcome, people! Much appreciated. I think I will possible leave the politics page for now... :cool:

There are opportunities, but I am not to familiar with them. There are a few hoops you have to jump through: pay the hunting tax and so forth. But doable. There are no proper outfitters like for instance in Africa. So your best bet is possible a help full forum member from Norway :-) Nice...

Thank you!

We are sadly not allowed to use bows for hunting in Norway. Nor handguns. So its rifles all the way. I must confess that I really like lever actions. I have a Marlin 1895 in 45/70 and a Winchester 94 in 356 Winchester. I use these in the dense steep woods of western Norway where I hunt for...

Looks like she had a wonderful time.

@cls Troll A, B or C? I have been on all of them. Currently working on Gullfaks C. It's a small world :-)

Thank you for the welcome! Trondheim is a beautiful city, @mdwest . Hope you have a good hunt. "Skitt jakt" as we say in Norway
