This one is built on a brand new T3 Tikka with a Limbsaver & 23" Vulcan barrel.
It has a fluted bolt & barrel.

It performs pretty well with the 140 amax, the only projectile I have tried.

Thats a pretty nice speed, it will go faster but it a bit harder on the brass.

Quite a neat useful little longish range round with the 140s
I might have a play with the 120 GMX or 130 Sirocco.
Nice!! KG will have to get some pics up of mine doing the same thing I like that speed between 28 and 29 seems to suit well.What powder?
how do you like the vulcan barrels they seem well priced?
They're good mate only issue I had with mine was it spotted up with some surface rust after I neglected it. Apart from that accuracy and fouling wise its mint.Quote:

It's better looking than the other 2 anyway. Looks like a tikka looks :)
What adi powder you settle on? I found r17 good to get speed and went
N165
R22
Ar2213
In that order with 165 been the best of them in the 7 I done so. Interesting to see how you got on tho. . . .

Just a wee note, it has been pointed out to me that my mag appears to be a 20, its not, its A cat in accordance with my FAL. I wanted it to look as God intended for the photos so I didn't properly insert the as shipped NEA 5rd mag. Maybe a douche thing to do but hindsight is a bitch huh.
yes ive noticed that KG, ill give it a good clean and then first one is a flyer then it settles down after that.Iim onto my 4 and 5th firing of my lapau brass so next weeknd ill be really interested in how much more accuracy and speed and consistancy ill be getting looking forward to it.Quote:

It wasn't to bad but a trip to the stock doc via ,a tidy up and reblue by Nelson Collie and Tuiman for a Vulcan barrel chambered in my own .22 zero had it looking like this
Attachment 9188
Attachment 9189
The .22 zero is a nice mild .22 cal based on the .222 rem .As you can see Iv pushed the shoulder forward by .000, improved the case by reducing the taper by .000 at the shoulder and necked it to take the .224 projectiles. The before along with the after loaded with a 55gr gameking with an unknown bc which will be sent at an unknown velocity.

yea mate im transitioning from using a mates reloading gear to using my own so as you would know diff scales means diff speeds and so on so just getting settled again so to speak.But yea im only using 20 cases so far ten of them have been fired 4 and 5 times and like its been said im finding the cases are looking good.ive found by the 2nd shot the cases are pretty nicely formed abe.This weeknd im going to speed them up a bit.Quote:

No..... pay attention, I actually shortened the neck by .000. Yes you can use factory ammo which is a big plus along with dies and quality brass being no problem. The parent case also has some genuine bench rest heritage.Quote:

Good on ya Jas. Once you sort a load its butter from there. I still have a few powders I want to try. I have a nice load sussed for the 140 but I want to sort a load to use 120-125grQuote:

I was going to ask you how they were going (sciroccoes),and they cost more than the a-max but wont shoot for ya!!.Ive gotta get out and tip some goats up and see how these amax go for myself.Quote:
