Cheers was only thinking aloud. Looks like will have to sell two and buy one, have a 223 and a 308. I do mainly target work and fox but want to use on deer and vermin and have a long barrel life. I will be reloading so doesn't mater what case calibre it is as long as I can buy or form brass to suit. 6.5x47 or 55 is looking good so far. I would like to learn more about the br and ppc calibres.

You wont gain nothing in practical terms changing from a .223 rem. Ok so the numbers are different but can you make real use of them? .223rem is the Nato choice for good reason, up to 300 yards it will do all they want and more inc. full auto fire with great feeding and expectable barrel life.

 

I warn you changing to the unusual is something of a poison chalice if you don't make real use of the numbers, forming cases, finding bullets, paying more for components and tooling etc. Besides anything else they will change the class you shoot in on the range. PPC, BR etc. are honestly best as single shot custom cut chambered guns. I don't think you can go to these with a 527 and its mini Mauser style bolt face ( if I remember right ,22 PPC needs a 22-250 action bolt arrangement- too big for the 527)

sounds like you have all you need already!

all for new toys but think you will struggle finding a better combo for target work (bullet choice) short of changing barrel length in the 308 and twist rate in the 223

Nothing wrong with mine its the 1:9 twist 24"varmint kevlar with the h&s stock. Only let down by the 5 shot mag. I was thinking ok selling the 223 and the 308 and buying one rifle with the founds and a proper scope. Just asked about rebarreling the action to see what choice I have with the actio as I like it that much.

Have you looked into having a larger magazine made?

I was in contact with someone who was getting some made as prototypes then selling them,guess it never worked as I have heard nothing since. Kent I worked up and past max load for the 308 best group and closest to poa where 45g and 45.5g opened up again at 46 and 46.5g. Still have a enough left to test and compare again,hopefully not in the rain again.

Two mags piggy backed I think there is enough room (through the housing) to get the top one flared to fit just inside the other lower one and TIG them on the lap joint sans filler rod. The springs can be joined like was done with the first ten shot Remmington conversions Prior to the M5 Badger and its clones becoming available.

What I don't know is will Edgars sell just the housing and a spare spring ( I think the full 5 shot mag is above £40)Unless someone has a s/h one to try on?

Was going to do very similar, retro fit the top part of the cz mag to another 10 shot mag. The cz is now on hold as it's shooting good have foxing rounds and target sorted, going to concentrate on the 308s now still need a final target round for the Howa and I'm doing my best to turn the p14 into a 10shot from a two shot it's currently a 4 shot with feed problems. I will sort one out in the end.

Post a pic of the p14 I'm just doing a custom build on one so have a standard 6 shot there's a guy in the US that makes a mag with a coffin extension that takes 8 308 I think.
