    Rabbits with a 20 cal

    It is late spring - early summer here in New Zealand and the young rabbits are all out and about without a care in the world. They should have though, as last week a friend and I took our 20 VarTarg's ( mine on a Rem XR 100, his on a Brno Fox) and in a couple of hours in the hills got 54 before...

    Creating tight neck brass for a factory chamber

    Case forming question.

    Can a 9.3x64 case be formed down to the 7x57 case size sucessfully. Will the standard bolt head except the bigger case head with out it being turned down. I do have genuine reason for asking this as I want to create a thick neck case to look at a few accuracy issues. I have been handloading for...

    Need imput on a new scpoe for a 204 Ruger

    I got my xr100 a couple of years ago. Wanted the best off the shelf rifle-action and I think the xr is it. I only fired a couple of boxes of factory 204 through it before having 16.5mm cut from the barrel to have it re chambered to the 20 VarTarg and that has been an exceptional re-build. The...

    Scoop on Swift Soccori Bullet

    I built a new rifle arround the 150gn scirocco and sectioned one for a wall display and found a big void (.287x.104) and weighed most of the rest of the box and found a 5gn (thats five whole grains weight) difference. Nothing else in my 7mm selection went more than .4gn. Emailed Swift but have...

    No H450, what to use now in 7x57.

    Thanks Steve, the H4831 - H450 similarity has also been posted on another forum and as that is redily available here as ADI 2213 will see if that gets up to what H450 is supposed to give with the heavier bullets. Havent seen Magpro here as yet. :) Von Gruff

    No H450, what to use now in 7x57.

    In my older Hornady (3rd ed) the powder for best results is H450 but as that is no longer available I was wondering what the collective wisdom would use instead. I had used the 139-140gn bullet in my previous 7x57's over Varget but have just finished a custom with a 25in x 9in twist bbl and had...

    Von Gruff signing in

    Giday Guys. I have been shooting for fifty years and am amased at how much I still learn from those who are willing to share their own experiences. I have just built another custom 7x57 and while it is primarily a 300yd hunting rifle I would like to extend that, at least on paper so look forward...
