Projectile swap meet

[Model70]

cheers mate !
ill get this load sorted then try them 87gn SP sierra's, but i like the blue tips !
hopefully ill be able to remove a bit of that vertical dispersion in that load !
as i said my old 25 loved em and they made the best paddock pizza, which of course is the most important thing !

The sierra's shot under half inch in mine, the speer 100gn hot cor shoot 3/4 inch and the V Max shot 0.353" but I couldnt for the life of me get the BT's under an inch. Same with the -250 it hated the BT's and the BK's but shoots V Max under 1/2 inch all day!

but whats another action for you- you don't have enough yet.....

or you could get the action with an extra bolt and have a switch/ switch barrel setup

just tried some 87gn Taipan hp's, and they shot 0.3 as did the 85gn BT's and the 87gn Sierra's all to the same POI with same load ! only the taipans are $25 a packet !

[Model70]

Good stuff Brad! Get the Taipans while you can as I was told that there may be an indefinate interruption in manufacturing of taipan gear.

[brad]

welcome to the dark side 250-3000 (vg)

[250-3000]

Jeez thanks brad!

I tell you what the way things are going with the 250 ATM the 22-250s not going to get much of a show


I also have some

150gr Taipan SPs in 308, that I got of Pilbara Jim on AHN for testing

[Curtley78]

First of all let me say thanks to Macca for the 70 grnr's.

I have finally cleaned out my reloading drawer after having conducted a dawn raid upon Horsley Park gun shop.

I have a dozen 35 grn V-max in .224 (these sizzle and are lethal upon vermin and varmints from a .223).

I have ten 61 grn Barnes FMJ's and a dozen Berger 70 grn VLD's.

The 61 grnrs and the 70 grnr's are no good unless you have a minimum 1 in 9 twist, although the 61 grnr's may stabilise with 1 in 10.

Anyone interested PM me and I will send them on.

[ogre6br]

Sean
someone here was asking for projectiles that will work ina 1:16 hornet barrel

maybe those 35 V-max would do the trick

I dont think the request was made in this post but a seperate post

later

edit
I think it was aussie steve that was asking

[Rick1970]

Can anyone spare a few old 204R case so i can try forming them to 17Rem cases?

Cheers
Rick

[Curtley78]

Oagie,

I checked the forum, it was stinkitup.

I sent him a PM and will forward them on.

Regards

Sean

[stinkitup]

Yes Thanks for the PM Sean, it will be interesting to see how they go in the martini, from pictures on the web they don't look like they have a big boat tail or any boat tail which should make them pretty short and stubby. Should really make the martini Zip

[Curtley78]

I made the post today, so you should have them by Wednesday, Thursday the latest.

I was using 22grn of 2207 in the .223.

I have five loaded with 26 grns of BM2 that I will place over the chrony (hopefully on Friday).

I think that I may have been pushing them too hard taking into consideration that I was using 19 grns of 2207 for a 55 grn V-Max.

If your shooting Rabbits with these you wont be able to eat them unless you intend to use them for soup.
