Managed to shoot 7 rounds running barrel in through the crony before the light went for a readout. Went up in .5 of a grn from 24.5grns vn133 to 26.0grns vn133, which gave me 3946 fps to 4169 fps😃10 thou jump. Im pretty sure this is going to be a really accurate rifle,Without trying for a group it put 7 bullets into 3/4" which were all different loads 24.5 to 26.0grns of powder and two different bullets and blowing a strong wind. well pleased and can't wait to try for "the load". BUT one thing p###@#g me off, what kind of idiot stamps a .20 practical barrel with PRATICAL !!!😤😤 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob57 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Oi, this threads about pratical,get that tat ical off 😂. Seriously though mate,that is one sexy looking rifle, almost as good looking as mine😆, I was in two minds about getting my barrel fluted and never really liked straight fluting but that looks bloody good on that chunky barrel,oh well, I still like my plain Jane. I presume that stock came ready painted like that or did you have it done?? Looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaduflyer Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Stock came like that when I bought it it’s a Lawton action with an 18” pacnor barrel 1in 11 and Mcmillan stock built by Neil Mckillop am sure barrel is 11/4 inch diameter heavy lol 😂 next time going for light varminter barrel maybe 22 or 24” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob57 Posted March 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Yeah it really does all look in proportion, nice. I love the look of a heavy barell so I went for a 23" T1 sassen, prob similar to yours, chunky,stocks just black primer at the moment so needs a nice paint job!! and now it's together it's bloody heavy but I like it, will post pic one day☺.

It would be nice to have dave do one of his special one off paint jobs ? Hi gunner, the stock is just black primer at the moment. I did phone dave and ask if he would paint it (or cerakoting it, if I remember rightly) but he declined because I said it had a few dinks in it which had gone through the top coat, not sure what the problem with that would be if it was prepped properly again ?? But im sure dave knows best!! So i just put a little bit of car filler in the odd spot, flatted them off and sprayed it with black primer that was recommended by my local auto paint sellers,and sent it to Steve for the build, thinking when it comes back I'll paint it myself or find someone else to do it, any recommendations??.

Cheers gunner, yep i did think it should be Matt lacquered to keep the pattern from wearing off, but hadn't thought about the beads for grip? I'll have to look into that.

gunner Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 The guy that did mine used beads for media blasting , the finish in those areas are similar to 150 grit sand paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob57 Posted April 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Well I got her shooting good, 25grns Vn133 behind both 32grn Vmax and 32grn sbk's HBN coated,3960fps,both shooting to same point of magpie😀. Within the last week I've shot 5 rabbits, 1 crow, 5 magpies and 2 foxes and both bullets have performed great, but the Vmax is my favourite 😃, just like my 204, it's a cracking round for vermin, as you all say😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
