Thanks Tony, Will be interesting to see how the Woody's do.Whats the load data for this load?Resized 8x57 cases?I must check with Forbes about some H mantle/equivalent RWS projjies
Mehul- The old beasty 450/400 double will need a new set of rear /front sights and its action as usual.
The rest of you kind folks-Thanks for the good words.Lets see where we can take it...Tony's 22LPI chequering by popular demand? think, think !
You're welcome mate. :-)
Load data for this load is:-
Yes, resized 8x57 cases, 46.5g 2209 behind the 140g Berger.
The 160 Woody load will be 43g of 2209.
With regards the checkering on this stock. The wood is Claro Walnut and is too soft to take 22 lpi checkering. I would recommend 18 or 20 as the finest.
The 404 stock wood is a lot harder and took the finer checkering well.
