I had a BSA 222 REM in the 1960s thank you for your article.

Politicians are not on this list because most have no balls!

Thank you i am not alone , my circle of friends think the same way . What we do about it i do not know.

Anything to do with the Australian government, both State & Federal, is controlled by Left wing Woke incompetent fools, almost most of their decisions are made to strengthen their relationship with the Greens & unions, who they need to stay in power . The green party is anti gun anti-hunting...

There should be a medal for the trackers, brave men!

What did you say ,i will have to turn my hearing aids up!.

NO not my 243!

Yes Bob, i was in the local gun shop yesterday & they had a very nice Ruger 77 tang safety in 22/250 i thought to my self buy it & get Swan to re barrel it in 250/3000, then i thought it may end in a divorce if i buy a another rifle.

Brought my first Meopta scope about 4 mts ago after talking to BOB 35 W, a meosport 3-15 x50 it appears to be very good. Also just brought a Riton 6-24 Conquer 3 6-24 for my CZ 455 Varmint a very impressive scope for the money.

Yes Hornady do have seating stems for their 6.5 VLD BULLETS they are on their web site

The dies may be an issue but the brass & forming it is not much of a challenge , may be you could use a Hornady 6.5 neck die to neck up 257 R brass or neck down 7x57 brass , fire form & then neck size only. If it was for sale in Australia i would buy it. as i am a 6.5 fan.

I am no expert but have fitted about 8 forend tips , so some suggestions i have a 80 tooth thin kurf cut off blade in my miter saw to cut off the tip , clamp the stock down on the saw table shim it up square & level with thin ply & card board do not try to hold it with your hands , cut it on...

Great find the 7x57 is a classic cartridge, European ammo seams to be better , PPU ,S&B & Norma . To fix the stock crack remove the butt plate flush out any oil & dirt from the crack using acetone & compressed air fill the crack with 2 part 24 hour quality epoxie died to match the wood & clamp...
