20-221AI

So I’m not gonna waste time sitting a punching paper like most folks do- IMG_7732.jpegCZ draws 1ST blood !!!!
this idiot walked in front of the target on my last shot-… so I’m gonna make up some more-

Here’s the finished blow length IMG_7724.jpegI’ll anneal them, trim them .003” shorter than that- load them up again- 2x more.. then the case growth will come to a slow crawl..

I like to keep my lengths .003” shorter than of max- keeps the carbon ring at bay-
 
New killer out of the barn !!!
Target looks promising, still have to work few gremlins out..

It’ll find a home in a tractor, combine, semi truck, gator, jeep.. where the other one isn’t…

This was originally a 221FB… it does feed find from the mag.. had a few hiccups from the start, since action was new..little polishing the claw, look out !!! It’ll run now..View attachment 16340265@100yd -target… View attachment 16340285@200yd- target

Yeah I believe it’s gonna shoot.., feed, extract from the 221FB magazines…
Gabe22br I hate you! You have obsoleted my 20-223 and my 20 VT. 20-223 I have over 500 Loaded rounds of 40's The VT nothing loaded. The VT stuff is recent so not too bad 400 Lapua 221 Fireball cases. You have forced me to go use up that loaded Ammo and murder a lot of PD's You should be ashamed of yourself. Now I have to order a reamer and head space gauges and rechamber the VT before I go again. Luckly I have my 17 Ackley Hornet close to being Figured out. I am really not that sad about the 20-223 because I made the cases from Hornady Brass and everyone could use a neck turn to get them all with in .001 in thickness. I hope Nosler can produce Quality cases and we can do away with Lapua here in the US. I am still not happy with what they did on the 20 Jackets to make 50 and 55 20 caliber Bergers.,

One other thing. I Live in Texas. It is against the law to feed animals steroids. I have seen some big PD's those are giant. There is very little public land here. Hunting rites are leased and a lot of ranches have a high fence and grow scrawny deer with giant horns. I have never heard or seen PD's behind a high fence. I must be getting old?
 
Decided to clean CZ today-

I’ve got several rds on it
870+ rds
Always ran 1 kroil a soaked patch, never drying it out- 250-300rds-


Used Danzac out it right out of the lathe on barrel, never broke it in-

3800-3900 fps on 39BK & 40 BiB
