  1. Does it come with any accessories... buttstock, grip, arca rail (etc)? Any pics available?
  2. Check with Bromsgrove Shooting Supplies, not far from you. They are showing some standard Federal primers in stock. https://www.shootingsuppliesltd.co.uk/fedral-champion-small-rifle-primers-205-100-pack/2590
  3. It is illegal in the UK. Our illustrious overlords banned many powders a few years ago. Hodgdon Varget Not Exempt 2,4-dinitrotoluene (carcinogenic)
  4. Thanks for confirming my load data, I even called the extra barrel length velocity too... it's always good to hear when the real-life numbers of a custom load has matched up to the predicted expectations.
  5. No. Despite being based on the Remington, the Howa 1500 has a flat bottom with an integral recoil lug which is different to the Remington 700 action.
  6. 40mm is a niche tube diameter... most people want 30 or 34mm, so as soon as they see 40mm in the description will go to the next thread.
  7. One of these for the foreend: And one of these for the butt: (QD adapter / Quick Detach) There are many cheap ones on Ebay or you can get from any gunshop, but they usually come in pairs.
  8. My calculator expects the extra length of your barrel to be worth an extra 100ft/s approximately.
  9. Using some default metrics and the presumption of a 24" barrel, you would be looking somewhere in the region of 43gr of N555. (At a low of 40gr there would be a 150ft/s reduction in velocity) This closely corresponds to Vihtavuori's own data using a similar weighted projectile. Taken from https://www.vihtavuori.com/reloading-data-tool-rifle-handgun-cowboy-action-shooting:
  10. The actions that state they are REM700 clones should fit a stock or chassis that is also REM700 pattern. Timber stocks will need glass-bedding to the action, but a synthetic or metal chassis would be fine. A lot of the time it is the magazine that will cause feed issues, so look to get an action and stock/chasis combination that uses a standard AICS magazine (or other quality magazine) rather than an obscure magazine type. If you haven't bought a gun/action yet, also consider a non-REM700 footprint too as MDT make chassis for all the common actions. Howa, Tikka, Savage, Sako (etc.) are all great platforms.
  11. That powder would be a great choice and could be paired with either projectile, it would be a good base for starting load development in the gun.
  12. Have you modified the Vudoo's magazine to make it more Eley friendly? Vudoo have some videos on Youtube showing how to do it.
  13. If you are heading from Worcester, try stopping at Bromsgrove Shooting Supplies on your way past and asking there. They are showing some small and large rifle primers in stock. https://www.shootingsuppliesltd.co.uk/fedral-champion-small-rifle-primers-205-100-pack/2590 https://www.shootingsuppliesltd.co.uk/fedral-gold-medal-magnum-large-rifle-primer-100-pack/2613
  14. It will only fit to a stock/chassis that has M-LOK slots on the bottom of the handguard.
  15. Up to 21 grains of N135 should be fine, no need to hit max pressure. With the data provided at the top, RS 52 is going to require somewhere in the region of a 50" barrel to be running optimally with a full burn. Hence why I suggested a faster powder, but there are plenty of alternatives to choose from such as RS36 or Reloder7 to name a few other suitable candidates. Personally, I am a fan of Blue Dot because of range speed limits at my club and a relatively short barrel, but that would struggle with a heavy bullet.
