Re: Imperial & Metric Headaches

G'day Mulga,
you reckon firearms are bad,try chainsaws. Made in Europe, used in America there is a horrid mish-mash of inches (fractions), inches (decimals) and metric.
Keeps my students confused for days!

Re: 20 practical info & reamer questions

G'day Chappo, I have 2 Practicals, one a 1:12 Ruger barrel on a Tikka 595, the other a 1:10 Lothar Walther barrel on a Sako 461.

Re: Hornady LNL Powder System

Have just had my first proper session with the Hornady and it worked really well. Throwing 25.8g of 2206 for my 20 Prac I had it set on slow speed and timed nicely to seat a projectile before the next beep. It threw over a couple of times but once I got the settings right was very consistent. Just w...

Re: Varmint Scopes? Feedback on brands

G'day Tez, I have 3 Conquest 6.5-20's and 1 Conquest 4.5-15 on various varminting/spotlighting rigs and a Bushnell 6500 4.5- 30 on my 20/250. To my rapidly deteriorating eyes the Conquests are better under the light and very close to my and mates "top of the range" (and price!) Euros. Chee...

Re: Projectiles from Reloadinginternational.com ?

I was hoping somebody may have some I can try.Berger recommend 1:8 but it seems they stabilise in some 1:9 barrels. Not inclined to bring a heap in to find I can't use them.Wouldn't be all that easy to on-sell them here either.What would you be using them in Manna?

Re: Extraction problems

Brad,
will a projectile slip back into a fired case? If not, a neck ream may fix your problem. I had a few dramas with my 20-250 until I started reaming crap quality,inconsistent Rem & Win brass. Can't wait to get my hands on some Lapua 22-250 brass!

Re: 20 cal berger bullets

G'day dangaff,
the 50's perform v well in my 20-250 but I use 40g v-maxes and 34g nosler shots in my Pracs.So much cheaper and do a great job.Still trying to get the importers to bring in some 55g Bergers to try.

20 Cal 55g Bergers

Does any body here have or know of any 20 cal 55g Bergers in Aus?Parabellum Imports haven't shown much interest.
