I'm sure I would have no problems selling it here, or on accurate shooters, rimfire central, or snipers hide. Someone is always looking for a 22 RF Bartlein. I gotta wait to hear back from this Bison Tactical place first to see if they truly do have those heavy palma Bartlein 22RF blanks in...

I'd still take a 24" or 26" just because I like longer heavy barrels for the same feel of my centerfire long range rigs. I really don't like the 18" Bartlein on the CZ457...

No answer from those guys, they're out of the shop until the 24th. Anxiously waiting to hear back from them...

So I emailed Bartlein and asked about their 22 RF barrels. They told me they don't make them for the CZ455/457s at this point anymore, but are in the works to make them again, but it's going to be a while yet. I then asked them in a 2nd email if they're only making them for Vudoos and RimX at...

Sweet deal! Mine is only 18" sadly. I wish it was 22" or 24"

Yah they say it takes at least 500 rounds to break in a 22 RF barrel, however im not sure exactly why since most premium barrels are all hand lapped anyway. So who really knows... Anyway that SK standard is pretty decent stuff really for how cheap it is, it shoots really well out of my CZ out to...

Very nice. Can't beat that deal.

Also ordered a couple Forster ultra micrometer seater dies for the 223 and 6 creed to seat these ELDMs. The basic RCBS seater just wasn't cutting it. Horrible inconsistencies with seating depth and was tearing up the bullets. Got them for $100 each. RCBS wanted $45 to make a vld stem and a 6...

Ya it'll keep me good for a couple few years on the 223 anyway. All of that on the wall are 6mm 87g vmax/108 eldms for the 6 Crees, and 7mm 162 amax/180g eldms for the 7-300 Win mag, and another 5 boxes or so of 75g eldms. Building this fast twist 223 cost me a bit in powder/bullets/primers as...

Now that's a good score!

Went back to the local gun shop in hopes they still had some of that N540, well they did and I came back with all of it. Too hard to pass up at the price, and the 223 absolutely loves it with those 75g ELDMs. Oh yah, they had a few 500 count packs of those too, so I snagged two of them as well...

Great, thank you! Just sent him an email.

Not getting ejector marks or hard bolt lift, just cratered primers literally on everything middle to upper end load wise, and the 3rd primer pierced out of 100 rounds so far. Trying to get a hold of a guy that goes by Carlsbad to get it done, but that's proving to be kind of difficult. Gre-Tan...

Brought out the CZ457/Bartlein combo today to just get some added trigger time in, cronograph, and shoot a few different types of SK match ammo. Had the Standard yellow box, Rifle Match red box, and the Long Range Match. Shot two, 5 shot groups of each at 50 yards. Also put 10 on the 2/3 plate...

Well I was able to get out this afternoon and finish my ladder with the 223 N540/75g ELDM with Lapua cases and 7.5 primers. 5 of the 6 shots went into a 1" group and I think I'm gonna play around 24.6-24.8g for around 2975fps just to be on the safe side for now. Those 2 shots were almost...

That Norma bullet looks like it'd be pretty nasty!!

Nice. I'm hoping I can get a higher node around 3000fps to shoot at least 3/8-1/2 MOA. I've got roughly 2 bricks each of the BR4s and 450s, and a little over 5 bricks of the 7.5s for this 223. Just can't decide if I want to go with the CCIs first, knowing I'll have to switch over to the 7.5s...

I remember them coming in the 2# canisters years ago in the US, I want to say like 15 years ago. For some reason now they're only in 1#, and of course the 8# kegs. Part of the reason I never tried it previously was the fact it came in 2# canisters, so if it didn't work out, you had quite a bit...

TD284 Yes I believe that's probably the case with the CCI 400s. I did a good bit of research on them before I loaded them, but thought I could get away with it. I didn't have any problems with them in the starline brass out of 80 rounds, but that brass wasn't exceeding my chamber length either...

I've never used Vihtavouri powder until about a week ago in my 223, specifically N540. It offers the best speed in the 223 with heavy bullets and is very slow burning for the cartridge. Its just a little faster than 4350 on the burn rate chart. Vihtavouri calls for 25.8g with a 75g ELDM which I...
