I have a Brno 21h and load 140 gr bullets for it. I have little interest in heavy bullets in that rifle.
Since 140's shoot well for us I suggest we stick with them.
Where did your cases stretch? FL Size them only enough so that you can feel the case when you close the bolt on it.
I'm glad your's shoot 140gr bullets well, I was really hoping to shoot 140's out of mine.
Which bulletis it that yours shoot well?
It stretches all over pretty much as if the chamber is not very tight.
But what I noticed that made me a bit scared was that there is a web forming at the bottom of those cases.
These were remington cases. I've compared them to the cases that I shot the 140gr corelocks out of and the corelocks don't have that.
I'd hate to ruin this rifle/rearrange my face so I'm playing it safe.
Mine loved factory RWS 162gr KS. This is going back 20 years so I’m not sure that load is even available today. Maybe give some heavier bullets a try....
I loaded some 160gr sierra's with H414 and will load some of the same with IMR 4350
I hope that it will shoot these well as I plan on using it as a moose or elk load.
(140gr hopefully as a load for deer).
There is a small screw towards the front of the stock that draws down the barrel,try turning that screw very slightly in both directions while testing the loads. You will find a sweet spot.
That's a great idea! I never though of that but it does make a lot of sense. Thank you.
I only have two rifles, this one being my all rounder (Moose, elk, bear and deer) so I hope to have a few different loads for it for all of the animals and environments we have here in AB
My other rifle is a 270win that I have a good deer/sheep load for, but its a very utilitarian rifle and not very exciting to hunt with.
Can't wait to go try some 140gr loads now...
