    The theme of the initial post is obviously reloading.. I see that.

    Great idea guys.

    Not that I know of. The 20x138B is still being used in South Africa but when I contacted PMP they had no interest in exporting and NARCAN was less than receptive to approve it for import.

    So this would be a hand load option only I expect.

    Can we own 25mm rifles?
    I don't know about 25mm, but the Croats do build the RT-20 rifle, which is chambered for the 20x110mm Hispano-Suiza cartridge.

    Not really a long range caliber. Typically the sights were crude and beyond 500 yards they were pretty ineffective as an anti tank round with anything other than HE rounds and even then......

    You won't find ammo for that little. Just the projectile is $20.00 unless you use turned down pulled Vulcan bullets, then add in the 1/10th lb of powder per casing, the $1.00 for the primer on top of the $75.00 for the casing.
    I figure each shot costs me about $50.00 by the time you take into account casing life of 4 to 5 reloading.

    Sold. This one will do until you produce the 20mm mag fed rifle.

    While I won't be partaking, I think it's awesome that this could become a reality. Love seeing projects like this put forth. Good stuff chaps. Cheers.

    Would this be a limited production run or a build as requested kind of thing? This would be a definite yes for me but probably not until this winter

    Gentle lord....this would be incredible, but there's no way I can afford to buy one let alone feed it a regular diet of $50 bills.

    I will tap out, but my hat is (literally) off to you for bringing this (and so many other ideas) to market in Canada.

    This is truly a niche market item, and I hope someday to find a couple of days to pay a visit to somewhere in Canada that I could actually fire one of these!

    Have to say the same thing, Love the Idea, but too poor to afford that kind of toy.
