Got out to shoot some yesterday, so far the groups don't look to flash, although it was somewhat windy,
Shooting at 60M my groups were in excess of 2 inches, I'll keep working the loads upward as...

Not sure on the rings if I'm honest, if it shoots well I might be having a crack at making a walnut stock for it, stock wood doesnt really do it for me as well as there being a few cracks that have...

And a picture of the rifle for some reference, Its a Izhmash Bars 4-1, little rough around the edges, has had the barrel shortened to 16" and threaded but soon to have a suppressor on there.

Right,
After a fair bit of faffing I've finally got some loaded rounds together, 20gr of 2206H topped with a 50gr super explodey, loaded to 51mm OAL, will take them out and see what happens once...

I did see that while looking around on the internet, I think it might just be a misprint/incorrect as even the newer 5.45x39 cartridge seems to use .2215" dia projectiles looking at hornady's...

I have ordered the spsx, mainly due to them being cheaper by about $10 per packet than the other 50gr projectiles on offer, I'll certainly be referring to them as super explodies :XD:
I have about...

admittedly I was a little surprised the twist was 1 in 16, had expected 1 in 14 or so but I suppose 1 in 16 is about the same as the 222 rifles of the era, there seems to be plenty 30-50gr...

Measured the twist rate this morning, has come out as a 1 in 16" twist rate, guess that means I'll be going for 50gr or lighter projectiles,
Hunting and Outdoor Supplies has told me that hornady...

I’ve got a few rounds that the previous owner loaded, I’ll be pulling them apart but they were apparently loaded with 20-21 gr of 2207, which looking at adi data for 222 is about right, I’m thinking...

I think you’re correct there, to my knowledge the 220 Russian was intended as a deer cartridge so it seems unlikely to me that it would be using projectiles less than 50gr, hopefully I’ll get a...

Very helpful, I see that they also have a hornady .223” projectile too, for some reason their website never came up in my search results.
I think I’ll buy a box or two of them and play around with...

That is certainly a thought, I intend to measure the twist rate asap, really wouldn’t have a clue as information on this rifle is somewhat limited, the bore is chrome lined though so I’d like to ...

Hi all,
Have recently acquired a rifle in 220 russian aka 5.6x39, the bore has come out as .223" dia (twist rate TBD) so I am trying to track down projectiles to suit, I'm not really having much...

thats a solid price, I like my stainless 44, 16" model is very handy, they're pretty stiff out of the box and will benefit from some minor modding to get the action more slick, might have already...

If you want to go with fiber wads its fairly easy, old pinex tiles seem to be a common choice but you need a way to cut them to the correct diameter, cardboard also works although takes a fair bit...

Beaver grease has a section labeled cast bullet kid, nothing much in it at the moment so maybe hes not selling it any more?

Im sure you've seen the ones from the USA but just in case you havent,

I have a cheap $50 can from hunting and fishing on my lithgow 22, using CCI subsonic HP's and its pretty quiet will happily use without ear pro, finishing shots can be fairly loud compared to general...

Looks like the issue is sorted thanks to Fssprecision,
The issue pretty much came down to general wear on the rifle, have had the hammer built up with weld so that it interfaces with the bolt and...

I thought of that too lol,
Didn't have any on hand though, probably would of worked better than the white correction pen I used,

Will be taking the firearm to fssprecision tomorrow so hopefully...

CCI always seems to work best in my rifles,
I mostly use subsonic hollow point stuff but also have some mini mags which are good,

brought a packet of norma tac 22 and 2/3s of the packet I had...

haha,
I've given it a bit of a colouring in and it doesn't seem like anything is touching the main spring.

what I did notice while faffing about is that as I put the stock on, the bolt...

Thats certainly a thought,
I don't think I have any on hand, think I'll try some of the white ink stuff meant for erasing pen mistakes.

Thanks for the thread BSA,
It is indeed very similar,

I've got it apart again, the mag tube and forend doesn't change change anything although I didn't think it would, with the buttstock on the...

definitely a bit weird, I had thoughts about the stock putting pressure on the tangs but I'm unable to replicate the issue pushing the tangs apart or back together, I'll take the mag tube back off...
