6.5 Creedmore restricted to ranges authorised for .338 Lapua Mag ammunition.

From the NRA website –

“The NRA has received confirmation from Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO)  that, on UK DIO ranges, 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition shall only be used where 8.59mm ammunition (338 Lapua Magnum) is permitted. Club RCO’s must check range standing orders as part of the shoot planning/range recce process and ensure compliance.

NRA advises operators of private ranges (as defined at NRA Handbook para 108b) to check the limitations applicable to their ranges and ensure that all firearm / ammunition combinations in use fall within those limitations.

The use of 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition on NSC ranges at Bisley is unaffected by DIO restrictions.”

As at 7/10/24 no explanation has been forthcoming.

Ducks!

Alex has very kindly offered to bring some ducks from the Leverhulme shoot to Cotton Farm on Saturday . He is offering them on a first come first served basis.

If you have registered your place to shoot then let him know, or let me know ASAP so he has idea of numbers.

All help in setting up and knocking down will be gratefully received, as Mike is out of action due to injury.
