Customer Service https://t.co/TyYtIgFNl0 Hi Folks, are there any plans to bring out a 130 grain CX in .308?

[Alex Preston @AlexPre68363319]

@DMQofficial Hard to tell how high up that mark is but I’ve seen roe deer peel bark off trees in the spring like that?

[Little Brown Dog Spirits @LBDspirits]

Bottles bottles everywhere. Two more casks to bottle then we'll be ready to share what we've got for you. Dog looks unimpressed by our efforts, hoping for a more enthusiastic response from you lot.

@RossEwing97 @ScotParl @SP_RuralAffairs @ScotLandEstates @scotgov Ross, there really are no significant impacts. For those that believe there are impacts from dee, greed and woke green nonsensical policies make up the vast majority of skewed rationales. Organisations like yours just need to start pushing back. There’s far too much posturing.

I want some ‘full fart’ milk. Leave the bloody cows alone!

[Little Brown Dog Spirits @LBDspirits]

A very subtle clue as to the origins of our very specially selected, very secret Speyside 1998 single cask. Very very tasty.

@julian_voelcker I like your choice, a lot of sense in that especially for the UK. That said. My next rifle will be in 7mm PRC.

[Alex Preston @AlexPre68363319]

@julian_voelcker Thats what my .243 currently shoots. Sako Gamehead 100 grains and they will drop anything aquare on at 200m and a wee bit further. (Blah blah). Where I’ve noticed a difference is quartering-to or away shots with copper - really good terminal ballistics as penetration is better

[Alex Preston @AlexPre68363319]

@julian_voelcker Hi -interested in your experience in .243 because I’m gonna start reloading in that calibre soon. That saud, Iin my 308. I’ve shot over 50 deer (red, roe and sika) and I’m convinced they are as good (if not better) than lead )sub 300 yards or thereabouts distance).

[Alex Preston @AlexPre68363319]

@julian_voelcker I’ve not used them in .my 243. I do reload my .308 and I’ve used the 150 grain bullet. They work. But so does a lot of things if the shot placement is right. 80 grain will act more like a 100 to 110. I’d try the Hornady CX too.

⛔️GRAPHIC: New @scotgov proposals will make #deer culling, with no regulatory oversight, lawful in Scotland when calves are this size and more. Protect professional deer managers. Say NO to the Govt proposal to extend female cull seasons to 31st March. Write to your MSP.

[Scottish Land & Estates @ScotLandEstates]

Today we’re in @ScotParl for stage 3 of the Wildlife Management & Muirburn Bill. We’re pleased that MSPs have agreed an amendment by @Rachael2Win which will ensure NatureScot have to provide reasons for refusing, modifying, suspending or revoking licences for wildlife traps.
