Mike, thanks for redirecting this thread. Your rifle turned out very nicely. 100 gr bullet at 2800 fps, wow! Very effective.

It may have been mentioned already. But what is the true calibre of the .242 Vickers? .254, as you mentioned resizing bullets to?

Good news about Hendos rifle. I may get to see it. Hope so.

A .242 Vickers sounds like a nice vintage cartridge and rifle to have. An ideal rifle calibre class for most game in Australia.
