Evening all, have searched this but it crashed my iPad (old and tired) twice, so apologies as I'm sure it's been asked before.

My shooting habits are changing in that up to now I have only shot FAC air / rimfire however I am planning on joining a club plus I have gained a couple of new permissions so will be putting in a variation shortly for:

6.5x55 Swedish for target plus hopefully roe at a later date. (have a mentor just need a piece of ground cleared for the calibre)
.223 for fox & small deer (gained munty permission last week )
.17 hornet or similar to replace HMR & WMR (Possibly) for ground game as that will remain my main quarry.

Have spoken to my RFD and he has said straight away go for the best and get competition dies and that a setup for the 6.5 x 55 (or similar) is going to be the thick end of 500 notes, must admit this was a bit more than I was expecting so thought I'd ask on here.....
