Would always get an 92G instead of the F or FS

Had many of them running trough my shop. The .223s were ok regarding accuracy, but nothing special. The .308s were tack drivers. I have a .300 BLK thats also near 1/2 MOA with Hornady VMax and all working great. My stainless .338 is around MOA - so exactly what to expect from a cheap gun. The...

First off, there are .323 „S“ Barrels on .318 non S-Barrel (you cant find much non S). The Proof test was maximum pressure plus 30% (now it 25%). Some of the best Mauser actions came from Austria made by Steyr. But often some Gunbutchers heated up the action, if the barrel didnt came of...

PPU should use a Lovex powder also obtainable as canister powder or so close, it doesnt matter. Lovex was the manufacturer of Accurate for a long time some yrs ago. So if you could not get your hands on Lovex, buy Accurate! There is a comparison chart.

For 140s you really should get N560, MRP or 4831 Powder. Use a FED 215 Primer and let it sing between 47.5grs and a bit north of 50, if you know how to watch for pressure. My goto Load with 140 Interlock is 49.5grs N560 (not the top…) and 140 SST with 50grs of MRP

You can buy such rifles over here for 500,— Its nothing special. And you cant compare them to a SR21. The SR21 is a perfect and accurate rifle with the smoothest running action you can buy today in a factory rifle.

The load data of Vith is very conservative regarding charge weight. Real world performance should be better with a good amount of N160. I get top velocitys with 2520 equiv. D073.6 and a light lead free bullet. Mid weight lead free runs nice with N550. The performance of a 7x64 really starts...

I have a H2 Aimpoint on my Raging Hunter 8 3/8 .44 Mag. - rugged and endless battery life. Some dont linke Taurus — but all of them in my cabinet are well made, reliable and accurate. They don’t have the best reputation, but I like them and trust them.

6.5x55 7x64 9.3x62

Calling FACTS bullshit and rubbish and Not beeing able to know the difference between austria and australia is a good start. ‍♂️ most of the powder will burn in the barrel - only some flakes or kernels leave the barrel. Most of the time this happens on low pressure reloads. Powder is a chemical...

there is no need for long barrels if you dont want to shoot the moon. shorter handles way better - especially with added suppressors. if you cut it shorter, you can go with a thicker barrel at same weight. short and thick is stable - better groups or less tricky with different loads.

you can calculate loss in GRT - the amount of loss matches to single digit numbers my measurements. unburnt powder very seldom leaves the barrel, cause powder burns near the chamber. so even if you dont have 100% of burn, powder stays in barrel and burns there until its gone. i dont care about...

Short barrels arent a big problem today. My 450 Rigby is 22“ I cut back my .338 WM from 24“ to 20“ with a minimal loss of Speed. Same with 9,3x62 - from 22“ back to 18,5“. The 8x57 got cut to 16“ instead of the factory 22“ The „longer“ barrels for 7x64, 6,5x55 and .22-250 are 22“

If its the same as 10,3x60R then Reloading Dies and cases are easy to come by. Popular in Graubünden Switzerland.

I think N160 is the way to go...
