Hi there
Anyone loading for one of these?
The 30Apache is a bog standard .223 round which is then necked up to accept a .308 calibre projectile (yes sexy I know), it's along the same lines as the 30wisper...but less stuffing around with the brass and considering that .223 is my main calibre of choice, brass is something I have in bucketfuls literally.
So far I've picked up a Trueflite barrel, a donar Weatherby rifle in .223 for the action, a blank Boyds laminated stock which I'll have to inlet and finish myself, plus some reloading dies for it. I hope to have the barrel fitted to the action and test firing by the weekend???
I'm mainly interested in using sub-sonic loads, but I'll also play with some super-sonic loads too. I've done the usual quick google on it and there's not a lot of info out there. In supersonic it appears to have about 100fps gain over the 7.62x39 and in sub-sonic it's the same as a 30Whisper...so all very promising stuff and IMHO it certainly ''punches above its weight'' so to say.
Anyway, please let me know if you have any info on this calibre, or a starting point to put some trial loads together?
Many thanks
