Lapua's New Products Brass

Lapua will introduce 3 new cases to its brass line up in 2015:


  • 300 AAC Blackout (300 BLK)
  • 7mm-08 Rem
  • 8x57 JS



I'm specifically interested in the 7-08. I’ve just received my 7-08 and I’ll be doing a reloading guide for it soon.


Lapua hasn’t updated its new products page yet but read more at 6mm-BR.

The Badger Cull

I see the Antis are as well informed as ever:

Telegraph - Badger protesters target country sports like hunting and shooting



“Forthampton shooting estate is as you probably know covered in footpaths. Making the sabotage of there business very very easy, if anyone walks along the footpaths during a shoot they have to break their rifles and wait for you to go."


Rifles, for pheasants, come on! Try a bit harder with your facts please. Probably the same logic they use to argue against the cull.

Berger's 1st Reloading Manual

Berger have launched their 1st Reloading Manual.

Not just a reloading manual but appears to have quite a few interesting technical subjects discussed as well.

I've got my name down for one.

Ballistic FTE/AE App




Ballistic AE (FTE) just introduced what I think is going to be a game changer in terms of ballistics apps, Multiple wind entries:

iPhone Screenshot 2


You can now enter multiple wind speeds and  angles at different ranges and it will calculate a solution for you. This has been one thing I think has been lacking from ballistics software for a while.

UKV MQC

The Inaugural UKV Mendip Quarry Challenge took place on the 8th September 2012. Check out the write up on the UKV site. There are many events like this in the States but very few here in the UK hopefully the success of this one will inspire people to run similar events.

There is an appetite for this type of shooting in the UK we just need more venues to run the events.

Weather History

Having been to the Range this weekend and forgotten to fill out the Atmospheric details in my log book I though I'd try to find a weather history provider. This is what I found:

Weather History

Location specific and gives all the relevant info for shooters such as Barro Pressure, Temperature, etc.

Saturday:

Women's 50m 3 Position Rifle

Women's Trap

Sunday:

Men's 50m Pistol

Think I'd still rather be out shooting myself. Have a good weekend.

New UK Based Shooting Show

The International Shooting Show looks suspiciously like it's in direct competition or trying to out do the British Shooting Show. They're even on  consecutive weekends, 2&3rd Feb 2013 and the 9&10th respectively.

That being said, the more UK based shooting shows there are the better as far as I'm concerned. They could have spaced them out a bit more though.
