    Micky Duck liked post by Oldbloke On thread : Scope Rings Moving – Should I Tighten or Just Replace?
    I'm guessing the scope is moving in the rings? These days I get a latex glove and cut a finger "ring" the same width as the scope ring. I then stretch it over the scope, 1 for each mount. Then...

    OK, you have a scale that might do the job initially? Shop around for used press and dies, also case holder. You will need a few extra bits and bobs but it will get you started. E.g. DIY or...

    Shot that young sambar with a tipped180gr interlock last week. 30.06 at about 40yards. Had cut the tip off. Lungs were soup. I suspect they are a tad on the hard side and need to hit bone.
