    If you want to save your rings take sika stags advice. Drill the head of like removing a rivet. Leaves plenty of shank to play with in the bottom half.

    For the time being, unless you don't mind burning money or you're a very clever shopper, do your best to steer clear of 6.5mm and potentially 7mm. Ie. 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 Swede, 7mm08 etc. The range...

    Pilchards are good bait but very soft, one nibble and your bait is gone. You might be better off using something tougher like squid or mullet.
