Well done. Talk about a capable but forgotten caliber. A friend has a lovely little falling block stalking rifle in 7.5x55 which was built between the wars. It has claw mounts and he added a modern Zeiss. It has accounted for a lot of Virginia whitetail deer.

Congrats, this rifle/ammo combo is amazingly accurate for a military rifle.
Congrats Reiver25 for a nice trophy still in velvet. I really like the K-31 which has an amazing trigger for a military rifle. I have actually shot a few MOA groups with cast bullets out of mine. I used to shoot it in military matches.

I bought a great deal of the brass he had for sale, plus I already had many hundred rounds.
How much brass are you looking for?

Hi Green Chile, I just recently bought a 470 NE barrel for my Thompson Center TCR 83-87 single shot. Im just looking for some 470 NE to shoot at the range just to try it out. I dont need anything special but I just wanted to see what you have left. I dont necessarily even need a full box.
Thanks
Bill
