Yeah ok,there is a real mint Mod 70 w/s blued in one going cheapits such a nice rifle but wasn't sure about the barrel for a wssm if it was just 223 rem it would be in my safe by now.
Been talking to, too many of your mates that are back from Afgan. Then again maybe not. It is common over there to hump goats, bit like Taihape?Quote:

Davo did advise me about the young ones on the edge of the bluff take some beating when he was in afgan!
Where is it? I remember a cheap one at reloaders then not long after it was sold saw it on trademe. Would be funny if it was the same one. How cheap? the one I saw first at reloaders was around $600. Probably worth re barrelingQuote:

What a load of nonsense. Load them up with 62 gr Barnes and they drop everything to 400m with 1 shot.Quote:

SO are they barrel burners or not?Quote:

Im happy reloading for my Ai but want my second rig to be a packet shooter so less hassle for me Ive got enough time poor shit to do:)Quote:

The 22 243 is the comparison avoiding the 220 Swift clamour and if plain vanilla all you need is one swipe of the bushing die and you are there. Yes this latter is in the making.Alternatively a 8 twist in 22 250 and you are close. Very good article some issues back in NZ Guns and Hunting by Peter Clark on these calibre's and twists.Just loading soon some 270 brass with Barnes 130's for a friend who is to use them on the wild East Coast bulls. Forgot how big those cases were.My first rifle was the 270 and what a great deer slayer but the boot and as Charlie Janes would say the "Kaboom".Who needs it.Small is good in our world and lethally so.
fuck ive got a heap of brass here thats needs a 2 thou bump, i keep looking at it then grabbing the new casesQuote:

The chap Sako over at the other place has one. Swears by it.
Mainly Hunting has/had ammo. I would try it if its cheap as. The only limitation might be the barrel twist.
Heaps on the American forums about them.
I'm what way would the Barrel twist be limiting? I will check the rifle out further todayQuote:

Same as 223Rem with 1:12 twist. Only shoots up to 55g. 1:10 or 1:8 may be more practical. Don't know how much more it will get with the WSSM case to assist stabilityQuote:
