Husqvarna 1640s, who has one and what do you like and dislike about it?
Seems like they're a good mauser type action, triggers are so-so. How you'll you compare to other CRF actions? Anyone tuned the factory trigger or have experice with the huber triggers?
Trying to talk myself out of or into a 9.3x62....
Anyone here loading it with some of the newer powders? Varget burn rate powder seem to be the go to, but I would guess TAC, CFE223, RL 15.5, or maybe even Staball 6.5 would squeeze out some more velocity? I know 286 is the "standard" bullet...
This 16ga 310AS that I gifted to my dad was finished by Claes Johansson in 1927, and it started a bit of an obsession with Husqvarna shotguns.
The next two are also finished by Claes, first one is a 12ga 310AN finished in 1930
And this one is a 310CSE That I need to send off for a little...
Excellent bullet, and the best bonded bullet in my opinion. You should have no problem getting them to 2900-3000fps and they'll perform great at 600. I've shot them in 280 for a while and only switched to another bullet because I can't find em!
Range gun for 200 yds, and occasionally 500+?
.223 or .308
TONS of loaded ammo and bullet options and lots of data.
Great availability and price
Not as "cool" as a creedmoor, but a heck of a lot easier and cheaper to get 1k+ rounds through it in a year at the range.
I don't think there are very man BAD bullets for a 280ai...
My new favorite load is with a 175 partition. I worked up a load last year when I drew a bison tag, and also killed a few elk with it. Ballistics aren't too bad and it hits like a friggen freight train. I was able to get them to over...
That is cooking for a 7mm-08! My wife has the same rifle, but I haven't tried LRX in it yet. Looks like I might have to. How's accuracy with that load?
I haven't used IMR4350 for the lrx, and of the powders you have, it wouldn't be my choice. You won't be able to get more than 46gr in the case, so I'd stop there.
Of what you have, CFE should give you the most velocity, followed by Varget and 4064.
What made you want to switch from Varget?
This thread has been hard to keep up with... but I shared my success experience early on with the 75gr Swift Scirocco ii and only have a few left.
The 77 tmk seems to be the winning bullet, but curious if anyone has experience with the 64gr bonded solid base from Nosler?
