Anyone got one?
Have you got any loads and does anybody know if there is a mould for casting an 80gr (or thereabouts) boolit?
Bet I get no takers with this one!

At a gun show in Stockholm next weekend

MAY ask around for you...knowing the collectors there I'll be offered sealed packs of ammo!!

Haven't got one, but I'd certainly make room for one!

I have been really keen on the idea of having a rifle put together in this calibre, but decided to reign in my spending on rifles for a little while.

If you do get one of these made up, please let us know how you get on, what twist rate you go for etc.

Around 9.5 grains of N105 or a tad more Blue Dot for an 80 grain bullet. tongueout

Dromia made a good suggestion today. He suggested getting a heavier boolit mould and remove some metal from it - probably a Loverin design.
In the absence of a suitable mould this seems the best way to go.

The Sako rifle, Redding die set in 7 x 33 and 300 rounds of ammo became mine today.
Now I need a source of bullets or boolits (preferably the latter)
The load data I found suggested Viht 120 powder and 70 gr pill

You know the rules..............

What do you mean by removing metal from it.
