    Had some stoppages with the Barnaul, they may have been 5 shot magazines fault though as rifle seems to prefer big P Mags

    Sounds like a plan...when?...I have been guilty of buying Waikato lately, but only to curry favour with the natives in the interests of the hunting community...my tipple of choice these days seems to be Buffalo Bill.
    Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.

    Geeze sounds good, if all goes to plan I might be able to break your shoulders with a round out of a 500BPE double rifle, nice 50cal projectile! and 3" brass
    Boom, cough,cough,cough

    Hi All.
    I have used the Belmont 55g nickeled steel case ammo in both my 20" RRA 1in 9 and my 16" DD 1in 7 barrelled, home put together. The RRA shoots well under one minute and the other is about one point two M/A. The 16" has a 4 power scope with rounded top post and would account for the opening of groups. Barnaul is crap. Hornady is good.
    Haven't tried the Belmont 63g.

    prices?

    I think gunworks on TM does a sampler of 5 each to try to see what works for you, I am tempted to get it to try (when I get an AR) but its such pain in the ass to get a police form for 20~25rounds.
