    Yes I believe it may well have been yours - I got it from a guy in Leicester who was I think the 2nd owner - thanks for selling it to him cos I love it!  It is easily THE most accurate rifle I have ever owned!

    yes thats the one you bought it off Mike Marsh he shoots at diggle where im a member.my best load was a 20 vmax with h322.shot a lot of  fur with it mainly with a nv sight on.it took 18 months for that rifle to come from the  USA.enjoy it.

    I’m in the same position, have the slot on my ticket , bought one of the two Remington 700 on offer but  I took it back . 
    I still never did find all the stuff I need to convert 221 to 17 fb , just got a normal set of 17fb dies. 
    I sold my 17 hornet to fund this mission . And 5 months in I’m left empty handed , so far £65 for the dies + fuel and time all waisted. 
    I asked a rifle builder if they would make me one from tikka or sako action and they said I will charge you even if it doesn’t feed , so I left it there .. 
     

    I could cope with single shot but I would want left hand loading right hand bolt , your back to mad money on a novelty cartridge .. 

     

    I dunno what to do now.

    Get Dasherman to build one.great little round had mine a cooper for 3 years had a lot of good shooting with it.great with a nv unit on top.

    Great little round.  I consider myself very lucky to have picked a lovely Cooper in .17FB a few years ago.  Not sure of any other factory Fireball rifles other than Rem 700's out there - have you considered a rebarrel of maybe a Sako or Tikka?

    Dodder is this with a black stock and red "spider webbing" if so it was probably mine a few years back.

    Been picking up on same farm today and foxes everywhere again, beaters reckon 5 different foxes, jeeezus it's hard keeping up with them at the moment !!! Not long ago I had them right down but they're back with a vengeance.

    shoot a fox and two will come to its funeral.

    Gary, thanks for that offer, but I'm pretty sure the ones that Brian had in stock were the standard SR version. You can tell at a glance as they're a very deep copper colour. The SRMs are nickel plated. The standard version is an excellent little primer but its cup is very thin / soft and my 223 with 90s runs pretty warm in a Savage action that pierces primers a bit too easily, so it has to be a magnum type with its thicker cup.

    your right Laurie -they are ok in my.17fb but not tried them in any other rifle yet.

  7. iv been playing a little with Elcho 17 in my .284 with a 168gn berger but cant get the ES down using fed match .i still need to test with elcho but due to the tropical weather up here cant get out to play.

    i did cobble a load together the day before the 600yd shoot at diggle last week-but i used h4831sc -56.6gns and a 168gn sierra hpbt really surprised at the the speed i was getting with this combo 2915fps avg- es was 12fps .i only loaded 5 just to try and hit on a good load by a bit of luck.shot the same load at diggle next day and ended up with some marbles in heavy gun.this was with a f class rifle.im also looking at n160 as i have 2 tubs or the IMR range of powders the h4831sc wont last long.hopefully stocks will return but when?.
