coombsfh Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Just got home and opened a parcel of telling weight. Looked for scratches and found none, chalked up, set somewhere between ccs and parallel and straight off I shut the little monkey. Easier sweep than 3 but with a demonic last 10mm. Overall about as taxing as a 3 to shut or a bit more, will get on the grippers later as the hg350 will get it again today and I want 5 clicky little reps on the #3.. Dead pleased, feels good in the hand, narrowish spread but not actually a 260N. A pleasing purchase for a kit magpie. Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coombsfh Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Nice one Fred! Thanks alot, see you have acquired one too. Feel sweet eh? Wasnt expecting to have him shut this month but am pleased i has gone down, reps befoer the end of month is something to look into now i spose. Just held the old HG350 shut from 25mm jubilee clamp set for a count of 6. Will do proper grippers after dinner. Is it 280 or straight on to 300 now in the RB series? Have a BB word class for mega negs which I know I will not shut out of the packet, or maybe ever, I am only young and it took from september 07 to march 08 to do a #3 so maybe when 35 or so I will do a 4 or better...

Good to close it stright off the bat. Did you get it with a CCS or MM set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coombsfh Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 I closed it with a set somewhere between CCS and parallel... Dont tend to measure mine, go for wide, close, super close and TNS as I still get confused by the terms. Will endeavour to widen the sets and increase reps now. Wouldn't mind more brassy RB's now but the spicy prices are less than ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
