Hey fellas, thinking seriously about buying a sako quad (22LR & 17 HMR barrels), and have some talley bases from an 85, do they use the same bases?

Thanks fellas, looks like there is a lot of variability between sizes

I'll just get on and make some target frames & find core flute that suits that instead.

Flip, thats a good tip on the bottle shops

do you guys know what the standard sizes are for coreflute sheeting?

Nice target frames Missed

so its not so much the cartridge you don't like Trevor, its just the rifle? I know what you mean about the JAB though, I made my stiller 204 up to be a 'light varmint' with a 24" barrel for the same reasons you listed, easier to deal with in a car or lug through the hills, as I don't have the t...

Have you worked out what velocities you might be getting out of it camel? I need to crony mine sometime, but I'm confident that its good for 2900fps with a 200grainer

Thanks for the kind words fellas :D Branx, I haven't seen the trigger, but yes, I believe its like a Model 70 Shearfun, it was a 375H&H with a cracked stock that I bought more than 2 years ago. It was a toss up between a 404 & 416 Rigby (don't like belts on cartridges, so that made it easy t...

Not sure where to put this, as it ain't a varmint rifle really :lol: , but thought you fellas might be interested all the same. My 404J turned up this past week, just in the nick of time (last day of my PTA!) I want to say Tony Small (Nickal Traditional Gunsmithing) and Darryl Stevens (stockmaker) d...

I'm just glad that I do enough shooting & have enough guns to justify my reloading gear, as paying a few dollars a pop for ammo that might not even shoot that well in your rifle has got knobs on it

Chris, I've got a 120.
I'm gonna strip in down tonight and give it a work-over to see if it improves

okay, whats your address...

aam, the thrower just has to perform well enough for loading up bulk ammo in 308 & 9.3, I'll use my chargemaster where I need the accuracy

Jeff, I dont remember seeing a baffle with the Harrels (the redding has one though).
It is new, and no I haven't put a couple of tins of powder through it, so I will take up your suggestion and 'run it in', and see what happens
I always keep the thrower at least half full

Are you guys happy to RELY on a powder thrower ??? when I first started reloading I ran a redding thrower, and would check each load on the scales before dropping it in the case. Some time ago I upgraded to a RCBS chargemaster, which is great, especially for load development work or small capacity c...

why did you feel you had to anneal the 338-06 cases Camel? I have one, and just neck down 35 whelen brass. Its a nice cartridge though, I'm running the 200grain woodleighs (made for the 338-06 & 338 fed), and some barnes X 225s, though I'm keen to try some 200grain ACPs soon, as people have been...
