    Is there a difference between American Eagle and Federal Champion HV?

    Thanks for your input guys! Form what I have heard and read so far the Champion seems to be a bit more reliable overall.

    Is there a difference between American Eagle and Federal Champion HV?

    Thanks Joe, I'm primarily interested in the reliability of these ammo types, since my rifle shoots almost anything well. Anyone else care to comment on the reliability of EA vs FC?

    Is there a difference between American Eagle and Federal Champion HV?

    As the title states; is there a difference between American Eagle and Federal Champion HV? Federal Premium Ammunition - Rimfire Federal Premium Ammunition - Rimfire Both 1240 fps, both LRN bullet, same specs all around. What I understand from Federal's website is that the American Eagle...

    Izhmash Dragunov Tigr twist rate?

    We get plenty of surplus here, all of it corrosive berdan primed, steel cased, lacquered or copper washed, steel core / silver tip. Most of it from the sixties and seventies, but the whole sale importers dictate what the gunstores here get and at what price. So it's often just one type you can...

    Izhmash Dragunov Tigr twist rate?

    Thanks for the tip BCP, the only Sierra .311 bullets I have been able to find so far are 125 gr and 150 gr. softpoints. Those and the Privi 174 gr FMJBT are the only .311 points I have been able to find. The 150 Sierra would probably shoot well though. cal50: that's indeed what I am planning...

    Izhmash Dragunov Tigr twist rate?

    The only suitable bullets I have at this moment are 123 gr .310 Hornady FMJ's and 174 gr .311 Privi FMJBT's. I'm also getting a couple of boxes of Wolf that the owner has left, they are either 148 gr or 154 gr from what I know. I'll try out some of the Wolf and 123 gr / 174 gr handloads and...

    Izhmash Dragunov Tigr twist rate?

    Thanks BCP. There are a lot of downsides to the insane gun legislation here in The Netherlands / Europe, but one of the upsides is that a lot of Com block firearms are readily available. A brand new Tigr (without accessories like the scope) with one magazine starts at about 2000 Euro or 2700...

    Izhmash Dragunov Tigr twist rate?

    I don't know if this belongs here or in the Vintage sniper rifle section, but since the rifle is new production and intended for civil use I thought it would best fit here. In about 8 weeks I will be the proud owner of an Izhmash Dragunov Tigr. It is the type 05 with the 620mm barrel and...

    M40 build parts kit, what's it worth?

    M40 build parts kit, what's it worth?

    I have some parts that I was going to use for an M40 build project. I bought them years ago but I haven't yet had the time to build one and they have just been sitting in my safe. We can only own 5 firearms here in the Netherlands and I have no intention to sell the ones I have now, so I will...

    1943 Mosin-Nagant sniper surprise video!

    I hope the arms shortage will end soon Ombre Noire. The primary American made product that is starting to get scarce here are 30round AR15 magazines, people are starting to ask crazy prices for them. Just to give you a few examples of how our firearms laws are: It takes one and a half years of...

    1943 Mosin-Nagant sniper surprise video!

    We don't have the same "ammo craze" as I see in the USA, every type of ammo, primer, powder and so on is readily available but it has gotten really expensive in the past year. To give you an example: PMC bronze line or S&B (both standard 55gr FMJ) are about 480 dollars per 1000 rounds, about 1...

    1943 Mosin-Nagant sniper surprise video!

    Did you ever tried .308 caliber bullets? If so, how do they shoot? Mine works best with 174gr .303 British boat tails. I'm still working on load development though.

    Unfired N4 Mk2 dtd 1953 conversion to sniper or original PE sidemount

    Pardon my ignorance, but my field of knowledge does not include Enfields. What does "less" stand for?
