I'm sure Gitano will be able to offer some advice on this.

Here's a good start: http://thehunterslife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14377
Let me know if you have any other questions.

Another cartridge I have built - and the gun to fire it - is the .416/.348 Win. This would be another good choice for a Martini action.

Thanks for the information Gitano
will spend the ??? hours reading your posts

G'day Hunter308.
 
Looking at your signature line you have some mighty fine rifles there.
 
I (and I am sure quite a few others) would love to see some photos and get your musings on the CZ 505, the Precision Hunter .204, the PH 7x57-  crikey even the good old Brno Mod 2.
 
How do the shoot? Do you reload? I have often thought that the specifications for the Precision Hunter sound good but have rarely heard much about them actually being used.

Hi Marcus,
The 204 with factory Rem 32gn Accutip at 4200fps is shooting 8-10mm Groups at 100m
I have not started reloading for the 204 yet!!!
