I think its to much volume in a 223r case .17 are better paired with a hornet or fireball case.

Russia bought Winchester 1895s as an emergency for ww1 they gave most of them to troups they didn`t trust as well, to the Finns and Estonians, many rifles broke down. Leveractions had their time as military weapons in the 1860s-1870s after the centerfire bolt action came in the 1870s no military leveraction were sold if it wasn`t an emergency.

I mostly use a cheap 1-6x scope its better to have a 1, 2 or 3 as the low end magnification as you may have time to turn it up but you are not going to have time to turn it down if an animal show up on close range.

It looks big on what rifle it would be more normal size on a TRG42

Last time I bought LR primers the usual store only had cci benchrest primers for about 20$/100, and they dont list primers on internet now.

UK has a very complicated system for firearms permission. Then I need a firearm here in Sweden I fill in an internet form for the rifle/gun i need (need is for hunting or competition shooting) send it in wait 4-6weeks and gets my firearm license. The firearm officer may have some questions if you want something unusual but mostly they just give you your permit if you have hunting education or are a member of a sportclub.

It's a new one iv never spent so much on something I can't drive or ride ha , my mate works at a farm shop and got me a very good deal on it with his discounts etc , it's £140 for a builders bag of logs around here now so hopefully it will pay for its self quite quickly, I Was looking at second hand ones but for not much more can get new with a warranty, soon as the land drys up iv some ash with die back to take down for a lady ( will get half of the wood ) so that should keep me going for a bit ,
How much volume have a building bag? Firewood are about 50£/m3 dropped in sacks volume.

Whats a nice mould is it for 22Savage? 22 Savage were popular in Europe for combination guns great for roe deer or capercallie.

Yes its nice I have pictures on some threads here from some hunts I have made. Its easy to find hunting opportunitys but low density of animal populations and not so many people. You are welcome to come and try it.

Young male wolfs can run 1000km in search for a partner and an available area, female young wolfs do also search for new areas. As long as they can find new areas they dont stay in their parents packs, a pack in sweden are most likely a parent couple their last year cubs and their new cubs. The older cubs are going to search for a new revier before the next year.

Then nonlead rimfire ammo has become available enuogh we can be sure lead will be banned so some manufactorers may think they stay with lead as long as they can while new companies will develope different options to take the new market space.
A new problem for me I bought one box of steel 12g ammo and two boxes of bioammo(.com) the steel ammo has a maximum recomended choke improved, the bio ammo has a minimum recomended choke of improved, for the normal lead loads I use I have improved cyl, and improved choke tubes. Will I have to change choke tubes every time I take the gun out????

There are alternatives but they may not shoot as good as lead bullets and not carry as much energy to the target for hunting.
CCI copper 22 has a bullet of a copper-polymer mix it weights only 21 grains.
EU are going to vote about a lead ban this year, the only suggested extemptinions are seal hunting , hunting for birds in top of trees and shooting ranges with lead traps of steel.

Reloading used to be a cheaper option but with todays prices plus the cost of setting up it is no longer.
You will need to be using a serious amount of ammo before recouping your investment which most recreational shooters never will.
A lot easier to walk into your local shop.
Reloading set 200£, premium bullets 80£, primers 8£, powder 60£, tools for one cartridge 50£ =400£/100 or 450£ for 150 cartridges
450£ premium centerfire cartridges in a store 3,5£ gives 129 cartridges.
So how long does it take you to use 130 rounds?
-
308w, bullet £1, powder 0,4£, primer 0,07£ =1,47
LEE reloading set ~190£ + tools for each cartridge
....but its not the right time to start now with low component availability cant find primers prices has gone up on everything.
Stock stippling.
