As per the OP, just wanted to add that by introducing yourself on here you just met 50+ reloaders. Anything you need to know just pop it on up and several fellas will add their 2c.

Just to guage when you were in FT at Greenheith, do ever get to shoot with the legendary mr Sean Sweaney? I miss those days. But with pcp airguns being made a FAL owning exersize, a bunch of us moved on to louder activities. I do miss my AA200HC, especially when a bunny pokes its head up and im right by the farmhouse

Yes I did shoot with Sean at Greenhithe - a legend for sure. He also shot at the Waitakere Sporting Shooters (amongst other places) when I was a member there too. This is all pre-2010 (when I left NZ to work overseas.) I sold my AA S400 side lever before I left... that was a great .22 PCP.

As for reloaders, yes this forum is awesome being able to connect with some like minded folks who are somewhat local. Never knew this forum existed and its been fantastic.
