Thread: Vale Nick Harvey

nick harvey was australasias anwser to americas jack oconnor and elmer kieth and much more relatable
The hours i spent pawing thru my uncles australian outdoors after the american magazines.
two things i,lnever forget is his 7mm harvey magnum based on the 284 winchester and his bedding of the action and up to 25 mm of the barrel he claimed rifles so bedded didnt change point of impact with different loads..also his love of the short barrelled remington mohawk in 308
god bye old mentor may all the old greats greet you as a equal and friend

GSP, i'm pretty sure his 7 mm Harvey magnum was the little known 6.5 Rem magnum necked up to 7mm. He was early onto the .284 Win when he re-barrelled a medium length BSA with the tube and chamber. He was pretty genuine and help a lot of blokes get a bit further towards addicted.

your dead right i had my wires crossed it was his article on the 284 winchester bieng better than it is if loaded to bolt action chamber lengths rather than the semis and lever guns, so utiising the extra capacity of the case. is col allison still kicking
