6X47 necked down to 20 cal, 1-9 barrel will fire a 50 grain berger at just over 4000fps with about 1500 ftlbs energy. Or you could just stick with the 6X47 standard its a great round.

I had a bit of spare time this evening before dark so I took the Cooper to my grandads farm, I hadnt been in ages as I used to hunt this place very hard and got real sick of it and there was barely a rabbit or fox to be seen last time I was there but I knew that some of the ground had been ploughed ...

thanks Glenn, this is very annoying and I know its gonna bug the heck out of me, as now this means that the cartdrige is canting in the chamber so the bullet isnt produced to the barrel exactly square and also because the bulge is on one side of the case making it off centre and depending on which w...

I really think that they are tilting in the chamber as the firing pin strike is off centre towards the top of the primer where the bulge is, so this would give even more indication that the cartdridge is lying down at the bottom of the chamber as the pin is hitting the primer higher up and then the ...

Hi glen thanks for the reply, I have tried some pics but its hard to get them clear, I dont really know what you can make of these. I know what you mean about the cartridge shouldnt be lying, Its strange the bulge is only part of the way around and that where the bulge starts is actually the proper ...

Strange bulge on once fired cases? Just curious.

I was preping some of my once fired brass today and noticed something strange on the case. About 0.281 up from the case head you can see a slight ring mark in the brass, when you run your finger over it you can feel its definately a bulge, below the bulge measures about 0.370 (strange as I thought t...

Have you ever looked through a Zeiss? Very good scope, dont get me wrong Leupold are good especially for you guys as they are probably a lot cheaper than some of the european scopes, I have seen a lot of leupolds and they are great but the european scopes just have the edge in my opinion i.e swarovs...
