Anyone have any experience loading for this cartridge?

I have Lapua cases, Russian Standard LRP and Magnum LRPs, 200 to 225 grain bullets and RS70 ready to assemble and am looking for a load to shoot between 1200 and 2000 yards from a 30" 1 in 8 twist barrel.

Chat to Pete at MME

he builds a lot of bullets

has a 300 NM built by Valkyrie 

was talking to him at Bisley yesterday about such stuff

formerly an analytical chemist and a really nice bloke

This is mine

have not worn it for years as it too has a bracelet that won’t clasp properly 

Never been serviced 

I might give your guy a bell

I have the same barrel and action as this one

i shoot special match and R100 from it

best 100m group is 0.5 MOA

best 300m group was 5” horizontal spread and 0.5” vertical using R100

its been a great rifle so far

i thoroughly recommend them

I’ve had one for about a year 

I’m pleased with it

bit fiddly to set up case trimmer so I tend to trim in batches

quick once set up

That’s interesting Bruce

Does it require much technological wizardry to make ?

I don’t know if this has been asked and dealt  with before but as systems are always being upgraded and new products come to market, I’m after any  up to fate info from the collective 

id like to upgrade the facilities on my miniature range this autumn and am looking for a target camera system 

Only really needs to be able to transmit to 200 or 300 meters - preferably to an iPad 

anyone got any suggestions 

I too have had good service

I bought a second hand charge master 'lite' and found it threw very inaccurate loads

Wrote to RCBS - explained that it was second hand but it didn't perform very well

They told me to destroy it, send photo proof of its disposal and they would replace it

This I did- with not a little misgiving

Month later a charge-master 1500 turned up

Been a good bit of kit

I have no doubt that the Voodoo rifles are very good and accurate. The question you have to ask is "are they more accurate than a stock 1710" or even "are they more accurate than a tricked out 1710", either of which costs less money. When you look at all the variables that go into setting up a .22LR to shoot well, the most significant of which is the shooter, this would be a time consuming and expensive trial to create.

These are good questions

Some of them addressed quite well I think in Michael Shea's book Rimfire Revolution

I've found that there are ''many routes to Damascus'' regarding accurate rim fire shooting - a journey I find as fascinating as it is frustrating 🙂

Here are some targets from the other day zeroing at 100yrds. I measured the best groups obviously! 😉 and I’m going to blame wind, and scope twiddling on the rest 🤣 need to try harder to get consistent!

 

Are those 1" targets?

Super shooting - I'd be happy with your cast offs🙂

Nice !

The MPA chassis are pretty good I think

I got a chance to shoot a a bergara b14r and found it highly accurate - didn't like the standard trigger though

The triggertech is a great improvement and easily adjustable

I suppose I should experiment with a wider range of ammo - the vudoo has been created around the centre x

I'm pleased with the special match so far.

R100 seems to come alive over 150m but not so special below 100m

Not tried centre x yet

It cost £2000.00 all in, including a 2 stage triggertech diamond trigger and one magazine 

long wait though - 8 months

Very nice. Can I ask who you used in the UK to get it?

The 6.5 creed was built by our very own Ronin on here 🙂

The Vudoo was imported by Ken from Shield sights who was very helpful

Exactly which branch of the police is qualified to make a medical judgement based upon medical notes?

Surely a medical opinion is to be sought from a qualified Doctor not raw data for some jobsworth to poor over

Leupold Mark 5HD  5 - 25 x 56 FFP scope (35mm tube) with a 20 MOA picatinny rail and a 20MOA mount giving a total of 40 MOA

The rifle shares the chassis with a 6.5 creed seen below

Pics as promised

Right hand one is 5 shot group of approx 0.45" at 100m

Left hand one is just about a third of an inch(ish) but only a 3 round group and only at 80 m

Second photo is of the Vudoo 

I use my blaser in .22LR iron sight configuration for 100m off hand target and close up with charging lion / buff system

Cheap practice - easy on pocket and shoulder

Finally have got my Vudoo

Best results so far is a 5 shot group of 0.45 " @ 100m

RWS Special Match

I'll try and sort out some pics

Try East Cornwall Sporting - as in

Bunky's

Don't know if he can let you shoot under 'Estate rifle rules' but it is a venue that I'm definitely going to use for long range

I fancy one of his 1 MOA @ 1 mile patches 🙂

That's a cracker !

Kukri barrel?

20 inches ?

My leupold will perform two roles as it will also be shared with a custom 6.5 creed jobbie which will also share the chassis with the vudoo

Are you pleased with the mk5HD?

I'm really really looking forward to finally getting my Vudoo

Deposit paid in Feb - it is finally ready.

Now only has to be sent to UK, then through proof then then then ....... !!

But will be a long dist tool with a leupold mk5HD  5 - 25 x 56 on top and 20 MOA on the rail and 20 MOA on the mounts

Far cry from my dear old Cz 452 @ £200 all in !

If it were mine, I think I'd frame that last one @Farmer rick

At 100 m that is exceptional in my opinion

In all the thousands of rounds sent down range @ 100m I've never been able to better 0.75" with my Cz

Which Cz are you using?

With what ammo?

I believe some RFs will link with the kestral 5700 link

Lovely group at 150 👍

I can't believe it - the advert was so convincing🙂🙂
