The dilema of CoreyTheCowboy

[Why not?]

This all started back in 2014..... https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php/1117905-HELP!-Being-held-captive-by-Why-Not

My latest suggestion is "Imagine a matched set of ugly 8x57 and 9.3X62 rifles with twenty inch barrels and receiver sights."

Imagine!

I just placed an order for a FN98 in 8x57 with a chopped barrel and a synthetic stock...it's well on it's way to being ugly

Don't forget the flip-flop recoil pads.

An ugly 7x57 would make more sense. 8x57 and 9.3x62 would be stepping on each other's toes, imo.

Right. You may have missed that I referred to it in the opening post.

Ted told me making sense is the least fun you could have as a Gun Nut As of right now however, there's only plans for one ugly gun for me...

While we wait for the rifle to ship, anyone got any pet 8x57 loads?

P.S. Got too starstruck by having a thread started about myself that I forgot to order bullets...

If you are a fan of the Barnes TTSX, my classic Husqvarna M-98 (milsurp action) likes a 160 gr TTSX over 50.0 grains of BL-C(2) in a PPU case with CCI 200 primers. All shots touching at 100 yards, which surprised me with this recently acquired beauty from TradeEx. Yet another great rifle from Tony.

You know it was good pie when it's 6 years later and I still can't think straight...I even ended up with a .270 from him last year...

Gottah be gooder pie tuh go'ome wid ahhh 270.
Why Not...........eh?

 

[MiG25]

44 grains IMR 4064 and a 200gr Nosler Partition will do nicely.

True. He traded for a very fine FN sporter with wrap around checkering on a lovely piece of European walnut and a near perfect bore that shoots MOA groups with the Lyman receiver sight. We won’t be telling the other side of story on that one.

Building an old ugly is to keep him balanced. When he is ravished by the 8mm, the hook will be in to build the 9.3!
