Custom CZ BRNO 600 in 35 Whelen AI Good Deal?

As P.O. Ackley pointed out there's relatively few cartridges that give significant improvement over standard cases, they were done to improve case life and improve velocity. In some cases the velocity gains are not worth the hassle.

yup. Which is exactly why they sold the rifles. By the end of load development, fire forming cases, etc etc…they looked at the chrono and said “is that all?!?”

The ones that do work work extremely well like the 250 Savage but that is achieved by loading to higher pressure as well. Others include the 303 Brit, 30-40 Krag 25/35 and 30-30s. Some of this is accomplished by moving the shoulder forward as well, an easy task with rimmed cases. These will give an average of 7% velocity increase, this is worthwhile.
People seem to think if I get a 4% increase in powder capacity they will get a corresponding 4% increase in velocity.
The truth is a 4% increase in powder you only get a 1% increase in velocity. It also takes more powder to achieve the same velocity as the parent case. You only get a velocity increase if you increase pressure.
Ask if all the playing around and expense is worth a 1 percent increase in velocity.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
