”Lost of guys are saving a ton and even casting for it. ” Yes i was looking at a video shooting a load called 300blk ”Bunny farts” makes me want a lead pot. With bought plated lead bullets I am looking at a cost for reloads of 0.18 £/ round. Regular 22wmr rimfire rounds cost 0.4 £.

300blk are used by special forces in the Netherlands and UK. The Bergara are sold as CVA hunter in US. what kind of paint did you use on your rifle?

Fmj are only used for small animals in medium size cartridges as 3006. For beaver i use a 110gr varmint bullet in my .308w with the hope it fragment inside it and dont penetrate the other side of the skin, aiming for the front end. At the only successful lynx Hunt i been to the doghandler shot a 12kg animal with several rounds of 9,3/62 regular 285gr softpoints.

I have pictures of beaver in the thread about beaver in the roughshooting section. My computer with lynxpictures are down now.

Lehigh Defence makes hunting bullets for subsonic speed, hornady makes subsonic hunting ammo with a plastic tip interlock 190gr bullet. In Sweden i can Hunt fox, hare, capercaillie and smäller with fmj so i only need expanding bullets for roe, Lynx and beaver.

300blk are available in this singleshot Bergara ba13 and cz527 boltaction. My intendent use are beaverhynting both from a kayak and by stalking/sitting, walked up shoting on smallgame and plinking. Hunting are made with supersonic ammo as a subsinics are illegal in combination with a silencer. Plinking can be made with subsonics and silencer. AR 15 are allowed in 300blk for spcs competition. I bought the ba13 because its a short light rifle i can carry on my backpack, plastic stock so i dont have to be so careful with it. I can reload it for 25% of the price of 22 wmr ammo. Its also

I have to wait a month more to get my firearm license for the 300blk reloading dies may come tomorrow.
-
Yes i can get hornady 135gr leverution but i Will wait to get such bullet as i Hunt other game more. Fmj are the traditional fox bullet in Sweden( they might not perform so well in Low speed) but i Will get bluntnose or flatpoint soft cast bullets for close to village hunting and plinking.

Yes the 158gr are great for .357. I have to see what load i Will have for roedeer in the 300, i ordered sierra varmint 110 for beaver and i Will try a fmj for birds, fox, hare. With a 150gr bullet i have to reach 500+m/s to make it legal for roe and beaver most 150s are made for 308w velosity so they might not perform well i such slow speed.

I imagine it taste between rabbit and mallard. I fryed it in a pan and served it with oven rosted potatoes , carrots and union.

Beuthiful rifle SD, I lost a bidding for a marlin 1894 in .357 on monday so i ordered this Bergara instead. Its legal up to roedeer and Beaver in Sweden, 2400 with 110gr jacketed bullets 1100 with 110-200gr lead slugs.

Nice rifle we dont see H&Rs very often in Sweden. I have ordered a Bergara BA13 in 300blk what has a similar look, its fo smallgame hunting so i am thinking of putting a small hunting scope on it but these hunting/target scopes looks interesting to extend the range a bit. 300blk will work great with cast bullets if i get in to what.

"I need one that will do the angle" The pitch Take a piece of walnut or mahogany cut in in the angle you need fit a simple pad on it and fit it on your shotgun.

I really did the best day for weeks.

Today I have done walked up shooting with a friend for forest birds in a local hunting area and natural reserve. We had warm weather (8c) a bit windy but still had some sun. We saw some Järpe/Hazelgrouse and hunted them for a while, I shot one. I discovered some beaver activity around a creek a 20m long dam and a 5m wide hud/den.

Vanlife hunter wanting invites :)

Vanlife, Yes then do you come to Sweden? -
To temporary import a weapon to Sweden you need to apply to the Police six weeks ahead, and pay the fee. https://polisen.se/en/laws-and-regulations/firearms/temporary-import/ https://polisen.se/siteassets/blanketter/polisens-blanketter-553-12.pdf

"My mother is 90; she's just had two weeks in hospital and I wasn't allowed to visit her. She lives alone, and again, I'm not allowed to visit her. Yesterday I said "f**k it" and went and visited her. I would refuse to pay any fine, let's see how it would play out on the news and in the media if a 68 year old man was being jailed for visiting his sick, 90 year old mother !" As my 87y grandmother said "what is the point of living to 90 it you cant visit your family and friends", the carantine are impacting her mental health. In Sweden we just have a recomendation for

You dont need to get the bullets close to the lands with varmint bullets I would rather push them in a bit so you have better release pressure then they are hold firmly in the neck.

"It's going to take some action and barrel to take the abuse the Sig cartridge will offer it in a blockage situation!" I think the other ngsw bids have slightly lower pressure then they havn`t limited themself to the .473 case head. Any caliber widely adopted by the US military will find a civilian market.

Selling 400$ rifles might be a risky buisness. Remington Arms are in a bankruptcy sale divided in to different sale groups. https://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2020/09/27/remington-asset-bids/

".277 Sig Fury takes off" Not many hunting rifle actions can take a daily use with a 80000psi cartridge.

"(the savage axis and mossberg patriot are both retailing around the $450 -$500 sometimes down to $350 if it's a sale). All the old guys are arguing how the old 6.5 Swede and .260 are better options but I guess the 6.5 creed is winning out because you can get a 40 round box of rounds for $50 instead of 20 for $48 lol. " 6,5*55 is only 125years new and shiny, its the most common cartridge in Sweden and one of the smallest allowed for big game. Now are 308w the most sold rifle cartridge for new rifles. Ammunition are more expensive in Sweden than in US both for *55 and creedmore. Most coun

"Also can't stand the idea of a country that wants to Introduce a predator that could hunt humans and yet removes our right to carry a weapon to protect ourselves against it, that is completely unnatural for humans." Wolfes and bears in europe dont really eat or kill humans. Only once in 150 years a bear killed a man in Sweden without being hunted before the incident. (A teacher of a ex girlfriend of me was killed, butchered and half dug down under moss by an old sick bear with bad teaths.) Dogs are often killed by wolf and sheep, fallow deer, cattle, horse. A woman had to defen
