So I have three new rifles to load for. Anyone have dies for the first two.


Ceskoslovenska ZBROJOVKA A.S. Brno VZ24 22x280 AI 28in Barrel, Bolt Action, Scope Rings & Bases, Thumbhole Monte Carlo Stock, with Assorted Brass

ZBROJOVKA Bruno A.S. VZ24 6mmx280 AI. Fluted Stainless 24.5in. Barrel, Houge Stock, Bolt Action, S/N OR11602, Scope Bases, with Assorted Brass

Ruger M77 Bolt Action, Red Pad, Tang Safety, Scope Rings, 26in. Stainless Barrel, Unknown Cal, No Markings on Barrel, I will need to make a cast of the chamber to see what caliber it is.

I have zero ideas about these cartridges and dies but I know all about vz24 actions..,,.supposedly strongest of all military Mauser actions.have built a 338-06 on one myself .
They look sweet good luck
 
A .22x280. Better load test with 1 shot groups or it will have no throat before you find a load. Interesting as I am a .280 fan but kinda crazy also. I would love to see the end result. I wonderbwhats it's intended use was?
 
Try looking at the back of the barrel thru the action on the ruger with a bore scope. Sometimes they engrave the caliber, twist etc there
 
The Ruger was stamped on the bottom of the barrel. It's a 264 Win Mag and appears to be unfired. Chamber is clean and barrel spotless. I was hoping for something exotic. I will probably never fire or hunt with it.

The 6mmx280 AI appears to been fired very little as chamber is clean and barrel the same.

The 22x280 AI looks to be the same fired very little.

The throats look like new.
 
If they're from an local estate, try and find a shooting buddy of the previous owner.
Yes from estate sale. Owner was cutting firewood with his wife. She turned around and he was laying on the ground. She knew nothing about the rifles. I picked them up today at a gun shop in Northern Minnesota and they knew nothing about them.
