    Hermitage liked post by Stocky On thread : Give it the chop?
    Yes anything wood blued I'd feel a bit dirty docking it that short. Anything stainless or synthetic I veiw as only functional and don't see any good reason to have a longer barrel. As there's not...

    Hermitage liked post by woods223 On thread : A question for the doubters
    Nice controlled and factual answer to what could have been taken as a sarcastic question. All bullet wounds hurt and can do considerable damage, even 224 fmj, which a lot of people seem to write off...

    The only logical way forward for this conversation, is for Hermitage to shoot himself in the other leg with a 308. That way we have a balanced data set for Gimp :thumbsup: Get to it chap!

    Hermitage liked post by Tentman On thread : 223 - unusual results
    Interesting results but pretty consistent with my experience over a wide range of 22s and now a few centrefires. I see you excluded some shots, these don't really change your results but after a...

    Hermitage liked post by Coop On thread : Is it okay to bolt my ammo safe on top of my gun safe?
    You don't need to bolt ammo safes to surfaces. They just have to be locked and separate to the firearm safe. They can be part of the firearm safe as long as they are different keys and not stored...
