gaz6br Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hows your brass holding up? Your powder charges seem quite high. I only pushed the 95's up to 39.3 varget in mine, was doing 3024fps from a 21" barrel. Is you 18" measeured to bolt face or front of action? What twist barrels are you guys running Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaserman Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi Gary, I've had as many as 5 firings from my brass, I do change now after every 3, just because I like to, not because the primer pockets are loose or anything like that. I did run it with a full grain higher 43.5g, with no issues at all, for most of it's life. I've just surprised myself when measuring my barrel to answer your question, it was originally a 26" one, I had 8" chopped off to make it 18", I have just measured it and it is 18" from the start of the chamber, not the start of the rifling, I have to admit, I'm quite amazed myself, meaning it's around 16" of rifling, minus the fire cracking, so I have about 13"-14" of barrel left!

CZ Varminter Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Hi gaz as previously discussed, my barrel is a Lothar in 8.5 twist. Lothar is harder barrel also. I will have to develop loads but I reckon either the 47 or .260 mate, just go for one. The end of the day there is negligible difference for the purpose. Just pick I was asked on the phone by my local force well 6.5 was on my request and they said which 47 or .260 I just went which ever popped into my head at the time lol. Can't go wrong with either cal. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
