0.257 FMJ bullets for my old 1964 drilling? For home reloading

Hi,
I bought an old drilling with two shot gun barrels and one rifle barrel. Cal 16 shotgun barrels and 6,5x52r rifle barrel. I live in Norway and the only ammunition I can find is hollow tip 117 grain from Sellier & Bellot. I need FMJ and I am looking for bullets to reload my self. This weapon was ment to be a perfect combination weapon for bird hunting and if I saw some hare or foxes during the bird hunt. But the ready to shoot ammo I find in Norway will destroy the birds.
Can anyone help me? 0.257 bullets. But needs to not destroy the old drilling. This is a weapon I bought used to try out a drilling before buying an expensive one with modern calibers. Instead of carrying a shot gun in my hands and a rifle on my back pack.

SOLD Bergara B14R Heavy Barreled Action + Extras

Bergara B14R BA with 20" stainless steel heavy profile 1:16tw barrel, (2) factory mags, (1) two-round extension from A&J Sporting, Anarchy Outdoors scope rail (20 MOA) and bolt handle with "big bertha" bolt knob. Also includes original Bergara bolt handle, trigger (0 rounds), and pins.

I purchased this new when the heavy barrel was first released last winter, and put no more than 300 rounds thru it. Shot sub-MOA with SK Rifle Match and Norma Tac22, and balances great in my G1 (short) APAC, and XLR Envy. Definitely an upgrade from the original B14R, only selling because once again I have too many rifles in the safe.

I removed the Bergara trigger when it was brand new to install a TT, so this one has zero rounds on it. I did not reinstall the trigger just in case you want to run your own aftermarket deal.

NOTE: Barrel length updated/corrected; heavy barrel is 20", see added photos

$925 shipped to your FFL, PayPal F&F no notes or Venmo preferred, DM me if interested.

Firearms CZ shadow 2 compact and extras

Two mags through to function check then cleaned and oiled and put away.

Got Lok palm swell black grips for it. Also added an acro p2, then added a streamlight TLR-7 HLX. Comes with original grips, as well as case, two mags, case for acro p2, etc.

Gun is perfect and the best fit and finish Ive seen in a CZ, just like to use it to fund a Terminus Zeus so off it goes.

I have $2000 into it with the grips, optic, optic plate, light.

Love to see $1500 for all included, or trade for a Terminus Zeus I can add cash. Or a Terminus Apollo and you add a little cash?

Peakpulse laser range finders

Does anyone have any experience with peakpulse laser range finders? They have one with a 7x optic that they claim is good out to 4400 yards (1500 for trees, 3000 for deer, 4400 for mountains) with an accuracy of +-1 yard, an inclinometer, and IP65 weatherproofing. All for $300, which, if it’s any good would be significantly cheaper than anything I have found similar on the market, but is it any good? Does it actually give the performance they claim?

This may lead to an interesting discussion- who have you given access to for your house?

I haven't seen this discussed here (at least not recently) but might make for a good discussion. I'm sure the vast majority of us consider our homes our own personal castles. But we may have a trusted inner-circle in which we gave access to our homes, whether through physical keys or digital access. I'm not personally concerned with the details myself of which type of access you may have provided but more so curious as to the "who" portion that you gave access to of your home.

As for me- the only one that could potentially come and go into our house is my sister-in-law. As for the why- well both my wife and I have a higher than most threshold of trust required in order to give the literal/figurative keys of our new house to anyone and she's the only one that checked our boxes. It may be unusual to some here- but we have not (and agreed to this jointly) given any keys/or other access to our parents and don't intend to change that decision, at least not in the near future.

It's not that we even distrust either of our parents but this is our... refuge I'll say, and it's comforting to my wife & I to know that the vast majority of our inner circle cannot come in without our direct involvement. Neighbors(?), hah- if we live here 20+ years and never know their names, I'd be ok with that because I'd rather we keep to ourselves and do our own thing.

That said- does anyone else feel the same way, have similar approaches or have a completely different outlook on this topic?

What’s the art behind hunting rifle accuracy

Wondering if others out there have worked out a good way to get shot-to-shot consistency with lightweight, heavy recoil hunting rifles.

Here’s the issue. Every training video you’ll find here shows folks getting tiny groups by firing 5 or so shots back-to-back without changing position (cheek stays on the stock, eye on the scope, only movement is working the bolt). I’ve never seen anyone shoot a hunting rifle this way. For one thing, a 7lb rifle with heavy recoil is going to move and need to be re-positioned. For another, a magnum sporter-weight barrel needs 5min or so to cool down between rounds (or at least mine do). If you shot them like Eric cortina, you’d have a burnt-out barrel and a lot of velocity spread from shoving rounds in a red-hot chamber.

I can consistently shoot 1/2 or 1/3 moa groups with little effort when I use “range guns” like 6BR or 6.5 creed’s with heavy barrels. You just stay in position and work the bolt with one finger like everybody does in the training videos. Heck, my $200 factory .22LR with cheap ammo and a crappy low-end vortex scope does 1/2moa 10-shot groups with no problem using this method. Getting good 5-shot groups from my 28 nos or 300wm is another issue. I need to shoot a round, stick in my barrel fan, chat with the guy next to me, then come back in 5 minutes for the next round. Some days, I’ll get a great group. Most of the time, I’ll get one or two outliers that turn my 1/2 moa group into a 1moa pattern. It’s kind of maddening when you’re trying to figure out if your load is off, or if you’re just positioned slightly different then your last shot.

Anybody have real-world experience getting consistently when you’re walking away from your rifle between rounds?

Weatherflow vane?

I would like to get a weatherflow meter (I just can’t justify nearly $800 for a Kestrel when the weatherflow can do the same thing for $99, albeit slightly less streamlined.), but am put off by the apparent lack of a vane attachment, without the vane it’s just not very useful. Those of you who have one, what solution do you use to mount it on a vane? At present I’m just thinking about getting a cheap kestrel vane and attaching it with two way tape, would that work? Is there a commercial or more elegant solution available?

SOLD 6.5prc Ammo

Looking to sell a bunch of ammo fairly cheap that I have accumulated over the years.

  1. 180 rds + 20 pieces of fired brass - Norma 143 GT 6.5 PRC - $1.40/rd = $252 + shipping
  2. 48 rds of Hornady 147 6.5 PRC - $1.40/rd = $67 + shipping
  3. 100 rds of Lapua 6BR ammo - 105gr - $1.50/rd = $150 + shipping

Keeping the ammo below:
  1. 43 rds of Remington 308 168gr premier match - $1/rd = $43 - Keeping
  2. 72 rds + 8 pcs of brass Berger 260 rem 130gr hybrid - $1.20/rd = $86 - Keeping
  3. 13 rds of Hornady 260 rem 130 ELDM - $1.20/rd = $15 - Keeping
Also have some large rifle primers if anyone is interested - 1000ct of Federal No. 210s

Local pickup in Birmingham or I can ship. All of this is some of my favorite ammo, just not calibers I shoot anymore.

TBAC Magnus RR CB vs Magnus S RR CB

Getting one of these for a 300 Norma Mag DTA SRS A1. I'm leaning toward the shorter S model, because I'll likely be wearing ear pro anyway. But, the TBAC spec sheet says the full size Magnus is better for magnum .30 cals. I also have .308, .260Rem, 6.5CM and 300WM barrels for the SRS and I will probably use this can on all of them.

Any thoughts or perspectives on which one to choose?

Weird primer strikes?

Got a new rifle in 375 cheytac and these are odd primer strikes I've never seen before and one pierced primer. First time loading up 375 and these are new brass. Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Peterson brass
Cci 250 large magum primers
390gr hornady atip
H50 bmg powder 133gr -137gr
30 inch barrel Chrono at 2680 - 2750 FPS
