KimE 487 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2021 I dont think its the forend it doesn`t have much springtension and its a thick 18mm barrel. It could be it like 220gr bullets instead of 120s with a .26" freeflight. I will try 115-125gr target bullets with a different ogive later then i want to play more with it. 1 Quote Link to post
Wolfdog91 7,182 Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 KimE are you planning on buying factory .300blk brass or are you going to try forming your own from.223 ? Quote Link to post
KimE 487 Posted January 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 I buy 300blk brass as I dont have a cheap source of .223. 223rem are not so common here in northern Sweden. Quote Link to post

Really? , Interesting,learn something new everyday. O and I figured I share this guy with you . He does alot of reloading videos and has 70 or so just on .300blk. he listing for a AR but figured there could still be something in his videos that could help you out. Quote Link to post
KimE 487 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 He has a great result with both powders. I will try one of these powders but american powders have spotty availability so I need to have good loads with european powders too. I dont need a expensive Barnes bullet as .300blk are not allowed for game bigger than roedeer and beaver (32kg/65p). For game of 100p as Fallow deer (similar size as whitetail) a 140gr bullet at 2740 are the minimum. Just bought 100 Hornady 300blk cases for 1050sek/130$. Barnes x 110gr ttx bullets costs 55$ for 50, one pound of Win/Hodgdon powder cost 75$. Quote Link to post
KimE 487 Posted March 19, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Today I sightened the Bergara with 110gr Sierra Varmint it shoots spot on at both 50m and 125m. A jug of water was successfully killed too. 1 Quote Link to post
