I am using the 145 ELD-X with Reloader 22 in my Brno ZKK 600 in 270 and getting fantastic accuracy. I have yet to recover any projectiles so can't say how well they expand but I have found if the...
In a moment of stupidity I managed to bend the pin and it all went down hill form there.
Hopefully someone can help.
Cheers
I own two Konus scopes, both are well made and nice clear glass. Both have kept their zero through multiple heavy knocks and decent recoil. The only downside is their are heavy.
I am running standard primers in both my 280AI and have excellent consistency with RL-26 and the Hornady 162gr ELD-M. What velocity are you getting in your Forbes?
I would be giving RL26 ago. I am currently loading 168gr Nosler LRAB at 3080fps with 61.2gr of RL26. Super accurate load. Only downside is brass life. Primers show no pressure signs but after 4-5...
I have been shooting a bolt action 7.62x39 for about six years now and have moved to only shooting hand loads. They are more accurate save you a bit of coin. I have also worked up loads for several...
I have been wanting to build a 7x57AI for a while. I even have a lovely Bartlein 5R barrel waiting. I was thinking about using a Parker Hale action I have. The current 7x57 barrel looks good but does...
I have owned the Bushnell Forge 3-18 x50 SFP for about six months. For the price I think it is fantastic value. The glass is nice and clear. It feels super solid. The turrets dial nicely and are...
I have a Brno VZ24 and absolutely love it. It had a butchered stock so have put it into an after market stock. Is a bit brutal on the shoulder but certainly puts animals down. Running 195 grain S&B...
Last night I started my development with 168gr LRAB and Reloader 26. Found a fantastic node between 62.0 - 62.2 - 62.4 - 62.6 with only a 6fps variation at 3033fps to 3039fps. So tonight I will head...
I have a Meopro 6-18x50 and just this morning purchased a 4-12x50 which I will be adding the hunting ballistic turret too. For the price I really rate Meopta scopes. Light weight, decent glass and...
I am currently running 58.5gr of Superformance and just picked up some Reloader 26. Looks like it is slightly slower burning so was going to start at 57 and work my way up from there. Everything I...
Judging by the numbers of Howa Mini 6.5 Grendel being brought with confiscation money I would say it is safe to say there will be plenty of factory ammunition available in the future. Recently while...
I am running subs in my Brno ZKK 601 rebarreled to 7.62x39. I run 200gr cast hollow point projectiles with 6.5gr Trail Boss. I have the same load for a Howa Mini but with the barrel cut down to 16" I...
I run a Bushnell Elite 3500 2-7x32 on my Zastava 223 and it is most excellent. I use it mostly for goats and fallow. Find the glass is nice and bright. Never had a single issue with it.
Try CFE BLK. I have been using ADI 2206 but now moved to CFE BLK and get some really nice velocities along with great accuracy. That is out of a re-barreled Brno with a 22" barrel though so probably...
Both are great options. Personally I am a huge Brno fan and own more than a few in all kinds of calibers. Smooth and always work flawlessly.
I shoot a Brno ZKK 601 re-barreled in 7.62x39 and I am comfortable shooting out to 280ish meters. I hand load and like the 123gr SST. Mostly just used on pesky goats but have shot a good number of...
Welcome Addo
Certainly no shortage of goats here in Taranaki to keep our shooting skills sharp. Forget about all the .270 haters they haven't worked out as long as it goes bang it is a winner.
I have cleaned a few SKS and found acetone works really well. if you take the stock off and warm up the action and barrel the cosmoline is far easier to remove.
I have mostly used ADI 2209 with excellent accuracy but have just moved to Hodgdon Superformance with the Hornady 145gr ELD-X projectile.
I sent you a PM
Beauty, PM your bank details
Looking for some advice on the best place to get a replacement follower spring for my Brno ZKK 601. I found some online but all from places that don't ship to NZ.
Thanks in advance :D
