Parkerized the barrel today and now just need to get a scope on it and make up some ammo. Larry

Just finished test firing it with 11gr of Winchester 760 and a 13gr bullet, CCI 450 primer. Sooted up the case some, and the primer was still rounded so I will probably need a little faster powder, the case will hold another 1.5gr of the 760 so I may have to go with 748 or faster, will definitely have to stick with ball powder.

Looking good. Keep us updated on groups and velocity

Larry, do you know right offhand the maximum length of a loaded round that will clear the ejection port?
Also, I can't quite understand your powder choices, unless the .14 caliber will work with them. I've been playing with the .22TCM in a Savage, and all the powders that yield me even remotely good accuracy and velocity are much faster than those you're choosing. Am I doing something wrong here, or do I just not understand .14 caliber lore? |

In a single shot the round could probably be at least 1.5 inches long, guess I could check. The powder has to be fairly slow because the area it has to push on is very small compared to a .22, so it is a lot like loading for a 17 Remington. Seems that 11gr of 8208 is about right, nearly a full case and 12gr gives a very hard bolt lift and sticky extraction. I am just playing with how much to inside neck ream before I size back up for the bullet fit now. Now I have a chamber with a .181 neck and the loaded brass has a .176 neck, after firing the neck is only .177, so I think I will ream a little less and expand more to get up to a loaded neck diameter of about .178 to .179.

I am thinking range day tomorrow. I ordered a fixed 10X scope, but it is not here yet so I put on a 3-9X40 on Millett rings. Larry

Larry,
Your PM Box is full If you can give me the water capacity I can run some numbers for you in the .14TCM. I'm rather curious to see how it stacks up to my .14 Reed, I suspect it will be very close. In the little cases an extra 1/2CC does not seem to make much difference.
