I am searching for one of these for my CZ 505 Gibbs. If anyone knows of one or has one they don’t want anymore please contact me. Thank you in advance for any help with this.
I agree. As long as you have a caliber or better seating depth you’re good. You can start with 15-20 thou JTL and increase by 5 thou until find what the rifle likes best. Subsequently the magazine length (max) is usually the determiner of where I start my bullet seating AS LONG AS the magazine...
Rookhawk, when I was developing loads for the 7x57 using NF 160 gr SS my data was 48.0 gr IMR4831 (velocity Ave of 2,572) with a COAL of 3.125” ( I had PacNor do a long throat). This yielded a 0.7” group.
North Fork has both the 286 gr Cup Point solid and Flat point solid in stock now. The cup points are drivers with a very good wound channel since they expand slightly.
Rookhawk, I’ve got load data or the 160 grain SS when I loaded for that cartridge. I’ll send you what I have this evening. As far as a “compare to” manual I have used the Swift manual and Woodleigh manuals with good results.
Package contents:
-42 pieces of primed brass (?? x fired, possibly only once )
-21 new primed brass
-14 fired cases (?? x fired, again possibly only once)
- 40 Barnes TSX 400 gr
- 16 AFrames 400gr
- 4 Woodleigh 410 gr RNSN
- 3 Hornady encapsulated solids
$200 shipped. I’m selling for a good...
Spot on - NF designs the tapered jacket thickness to expand according to normal-for-caliber velocities at normal impact ranges. This enhances the overall performance for the best results. You don’t have to be super fast to be super good !
Here are a few recovered North Fork SS (soft nose type) bullets from various calibers (.416, .458, and I think one of these is a .423). Weight retention is 96% and up. Shots have ranged from frontal all the way around to hard quartering away angles, results are the same. These are also bore...
The 400 gr, .423 caliber NF Percussion Point worked exactly as designed on my leopard. Rapid controlled expansion at its finest! Pictured is the exit wound. The PP (percussion point) is absolutely perfect for the cats. Thank you @North Fork Technologies for the best bullet money can buy.
New condition (even the dust jacket), spine isn’t even creased. If you are looking for one of these to put in your library of fine books this is certainly a candidate. $315 shipped.
Mine looks like that also - the photo I took was at a little different angle. It was an exhausting day and I didn’t take a true “apples to apples” photo.
The bolt face measured 0.484” best I could tell (and my 30-06 bolt face measured that as well)- so it’s not a rimmed cartridge. The shoulder mics at 0.437/0.438” .
Thanks for your knowledge and insight on this !
John, I’m sorry to say the bolt face on this measures 0.484 as best I can get - so it’s the rimless 9x57. My gunsmith who cast the bore didn’t have the bolt so it seemed like a rimmed cartridge to him. To me it’s strange but there was a distinct recessed ring area at the start of the chamber in...
