Ed, I'm not evil. Please review my sig line. I have standards you know. Thanks, D PS: By the way... ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v298/muddler/Guns/Zimmer/IMG_3159_zps839876ba.jpg) Is my bluritude up to standards? It has an interesting action. Is a falling block with two triggers. It does not cock when the action is cycled. The rear trigger does that. Hard pull to cock, then I dare you to breath on the front trigger. There is a German name for that, but it eludes me at the moment.

An answer to the OP's problem actually dawned on me a little while ago... 5.7x28 It's about the same capacity as a Hornet, but has the advantage of being a more modern shape with sharper shoulder. And being a military/LE cartridge, there is plenty of surplus brass around: surplus 5.7x28 brass I've heard the cartridge is fussy to handload, and you have to be very careful if trying to reach max loads. But light loads are the topic of this thread... Bullberry lists the caliber for custom Contender barrels: Bullberry Contender barrels There are of course FN pistols & rifles, and AR uppers that run the 5.7x28, but a Contender barrel seems more versatile.

Thanks lots of great thoughts I like the looks of the little 5.7. Can you use regular .224 bullets in it or do you need the 5.7mm version. 458 lott I have a lot of .22 saved up for a "rainy day" I looking for a replacement for it when none is available.

That press setup looks kinda kinky. Might be illegal in some Southern states.😛
What fresh Hell is this?

Hard pull to cock, then I dare you to breath on the front trigger. There is a German name for that, but it eludes me at the moment. OK, I apologize, you are disturbed.  Your "bluritude" is acceptable as I can still read the script. I believe the German word for that type of action is 'Ach, scheisse'.  Ed

Ed, two shots of whiskey and an acid chaser and it came back to me.
Stecherspanner is the proper name of that trigger concept. It is an invaluable piece of info. You are one of 15 in the planet that know this.

Excellent, Dan! I like being one of the 'enlightened few'. Ed
