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...

My youngest son has a Shultz & Larson 9.3x62 using Norma 286 grain bullets, on big pigs with a just behind the shoulder shot , their legs fall out from under them like they are stuck by lightning that to me is DRT. my 6.5 G will not do that.

The best way to enter Australia . 1 fly to Indonesia & hire a people smuggler. Supported by the Indo gov & corrupt police. 2 Through all your ID away. 3 the smugglers will bring you to Aust in a leaky boat that will be intercepted by the Aust Navy. 4 The navy will issue you with a life jacket ...

Men i think we are kidding our selves that barrel can be saved, it finished as a shooter . One option is to Talk to Allan Swan gunsmiths in Brisbane, Australia he makes 333 Jeff bbls he could copy that profile exactly & send you a pre chambered replacement that would require some head space...

416 Taylor works through std length action & does not kick your brains out .

A great example of modern woke bullshit F*****ing up a great company, add to that corporate greed & fools in Government, you have the answer to what is destroying our way of life.

I have rediscovered the fun in 22lr rifles, & shoot centerfire a little less ,i have a lot of ammo & components stacked away, my wife asks me if i am getting ready for a war! Here in Australia there is a shortage of primers But the main concern is with the left wing woke commo government we have...

I was a bit dubious at first using PPU ammo & brass but now use a lot of it , brass seems as good or better than Winchester & Remington & in Australia its priced well, their projectiles do a job on pigs , i use PPU in 7x57 8x57 9.3x62 & 375 H&H ,222 REM & 223 REM. 6.5x55 7.62x39 & 6.5 Grendel.

I could catch up with you for lunch if you like Bob , let me know . i do not like the 350 loan bit you may molest it:confused:.

ThanksI have some 8208 that i use in my 6.5 Grendel never thought about it in the 350 will keep it in mind.

Happend to a friend of mine 7 mm Rem used Ar 2207 instrad of Ar 2217 same looking bottle . destroyed Win 70 that he just had a new bbl fitted to.

No amount of bedding will fix 5 inch groups at 25 meters first thing i would do is have a good look at the barrel if its ok, look at the ammo , the leupold scope looks new , are the mounts ok ? Good luck.
