5.7X28 FN

Hi all i am trying to get togethor the required parts to make a small project rifle that will have a 5 twist 224 barrel on a single shot action to shoot the 90gr Sierra MatchKing at 1050fps sort of like a 224 Whisper i have got two options i am looking at a short chambered 22 K Hornet and a 5.7X28 FN i was wondering if anyone has any cases and if they would be able to send me half a dozen. bI am in Australia but if the cases have the flash hole drilled just under primer size they become scrap brass and are ok to post. If they have been fired that is ok as long as they are deprimed and drilled aswell.

Cheers Bill
Australia
 
It is an old post,but I have just stumbled onto it. I cant help with the case,but you might want to use 100-107gn .224 bullets. Garry Liddle in Brisbane is making them for me at the moment for my 22 BRX,as well as 70 and 80gn flat base pills which shoot realy well). Drop me an email if you want his contact details. With these pills in a 221 fire ball,the extra length will sit down below the shoulder,not perfect I know) but it will reduce the powder capacity a bit.
