cases
Thanks for the offer, but I don't need them. I have about 160 cases that will last me for the duration. Handgun silhouette is almost dead and at 75 years old I probably won't be shooting it much...

.270 ren
Trim length for .270 REN is 1.280. Most likely what you have. I've shot a 10" TC barrel in that caliber for about 20 years in Field Pistol class at silhouette matches. I shoot the .277 90gr Sierra HP...

.219 Wasp fps

.222 tc
My first real varminting was in 1986 with a PD safari to S.D. My two varmint guns for that trip were a TC with 14" .222 barrel and a Sako L461 .223 rifle. I still have the .222 TC.

17 Mach IV load
I had a Sako L-461 rebarreled by Pacnor with a 10" twist 24" SS super-match barrel back in 1999. My plan was to shoot the 20gr V-Max. I tried the normal powders at that time, H322, N133, 2015 with...

A couple of years ago I needed to fireform some cases for a wildcat that is close to the size of your 22-250AI. My .22/38-55 holds about 41 gr of H4350 under a 55 gr bullet but I didn't want to use...

No.3's
Always glad to read about someone using a No.3 as a PD rifle. We're kind of a small fraternity. Looks great and as we know they will shoot with a good barrel and a little tweaking. I've had two...

.222 Rimmed brass
Hotshot,
I've shot a .222 Rimmed TC barrel since '86. Most of my brass has been .357 Max necked down. The neck ends up about .070 short but it works OK. Back in the early 90's I found 80 rounds of...

Mark has rebarreled four for me, top quality, but like Chuck said not cheap. He does a great work on the triggers also.

Is the trigger the one that Mark makes? Looks like the pics I've seen on the wall at his shop. If so how is it performing? I would assume it's first class like all his work. I've had him adjust...
