Hi Guys I did shoot with the Leopold, and only changed the scope out a few months later. she shot perfectly with the Leopold. I only changed out the scope because I wanted larger magnification because I occasionally go on 450mtr hunting trips. The new mounts were put on a few days ago. When...

Thanks Gents the rifle is a CZ 550 American. it had the original mounts on( CZ mounts apparently). The scope is the Redfield Revenge which is made by Leopold. I had the scope on the old mounts when the problem started, which is why I changed mounts. I must say that I might have heavily...

Good day Gents I have a small problem with my rifle scope. when i bought my rifle she had a Leopold VX2 scope on her with BIG mount( close to a inch high). i had no issues with the scope, however i removed it and replace it with a Redfield scope because i wanted higher magnification. and...

Hi Gents I have found that 180gr Sierra Gamekings work perfectly in my 30-06. I tried going down to 165/8gr to get a better trajectory, however my groups opened up from a constent -1/2' group to a 1'' group. My advise would be this. 1. confirm your barrel twist rate- the higher the rate the...

Thanks Frostbite. I certainly don't expect to do it again as well. I firmly believe it was pure luck, but you never know. rgds

Good day Gents Now to report on the hunting trip and to brag a little with a grouping. however once again I could not replicate it later in the but i was happy with the results anyways. The first pick is of the 3 shot group at 100m the second is of the Eland I took down this week-end. The...

Hi Sage any chance of posting a pic of the silouette targets. sounds like something that can work with us. thanks Namibhunter

it was quite an interesting weekend. we hand our annual benchrest shooting competition that weekend. we starter the comp at 07:30 with prestine conditions, but by 10:00 we were all inside a tent holding onto the poles so that it would not blow away. at 13:00 we started the competition again...

Also, anyone knows where i can get hold of Winchester failsafe in 30-06. Friend of mine owns a gunshop and might be able to import it. and if anyone is wondering, the attached pic is what my hunting expedition is all about. I did not shoot this beauty, a friend sent me the pic. just ignore the...

Hi Bart I am on the lookout for a die that you can adjust how much you want to full size. unfortunately, as mentioned in my previous post, availability in Namibia is a bit poor. I have to search the internet to find a place that sells it cross border and then i have to have it shipped. I...

Good day gents We are working on referbishing and upgrading our range. We can shoot up to 1000m, however the club facilty only allows for 220m shots. attached is a picture of the benchrest area in extreme windy conditions. We are very limited on when we can shoot due to wether conditions...

Good day Gents finally got around to doing the load test. we had some crappy weather so had to wait for that to clear up. attached is the newest best group. Got it from the S365, Sierra 180gr Gameking with Norma cases and S&B primers. Not too bad. Shot at 100m. 1st & 2nd shot is close to each...

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I will be on the lookout for the Redding full size die( bushing die). unfortunately, over here we don't get them one by one. you have to buy the set, so will like sell the set I have and and buy the other one. there is not much I can physically have done to the...

Good day Gents No new load results yet as I need to replace all of my Brass( safety concerns) I do however have the pictures that i promised of the rifle. hopefully someone can tell me which CZ550 it is. Please see attached pics and advise. rgds NamibHunter

Morning gents thanks for the advice, but I think i figured it out.Jut need to test it first. It all comes back to what Chuck said. Some of the brass is thicker than others. Even though the expander is supposed to bring the neck to standard, due to the neck being a bit thinner, the die is not...

Hi Chuck That is true, however, the decapping pin/shaft/pilot is supposed to be "7.62mm", and is going inside the case, thus the neck is not supposed to be smaller than "7.62mm" or bigger.Correct? even if the brass is thicker or thinner? rgds Namibhunter

Good day Gents I am currently working on new loads for my 30-06. My cases got mixed because the wife thought if would be a great idea to surprise me and sort out my reloading room while I was in the process of fireforming about 200 cases. Keeping the safety issue in mind i decided to full...

Thank you MrBorland You are correct. The small group happenned one day and never again, I came close but not to that standard. I am busy working on loads at the moment and will be using cci primers again. ( will load the same load with cci and S&B primers) and will post my results when done...

Yes Carsten1911 Stock Standard CZ550 30-06. I would recommend it to anyone.

Hi Pete My current load on the 168g Nosler match bullets is 54.8g. If I recall correctly the 180g was 52.3g, however I will be redoing the whole load exercise with the 180 Sierra Gamekings. I know its a waste, however I would rather waste a few shots than not getting the best out of rifle...
