    Scout scope on BRNO 602

    Nice. The problem with that is that Hodgdon powders will no longer be available in the UK. Apparently all users of American powders are going to die of horrible carcinogen caused deaths.

    Sorry about the postcard bit, Japie humour crossed with being married to a Pom maybe. Interesting about your experience with Speers, they are all I have at the moment so will use them and report back. Ideally I am after some Woodleigh ppsp.
