Does Winchester make a model 70 that is a heavy barrel in .308? of a more "tactical" ( I hate that word) type?

I am picking up a lovely little Brno .22 Hornet- 1949 manufacture, but MINT- and see that there are various calibers for that projectile. Do you guys get the best accuracy with .223 or .224 projectiles?

I am not sure why you would want too, but out of curiosity is it possible to reload a Mil surp steel case?

I have been offered a 1949 Brno fox, twin triggers, MINT bore at a very good price..about $500 US. Any one have any experince of these glorious little rifles? I had a twin trigger .222 for years, and just loved it.

I vaguely recall reading that the way to test if surplus ammo is corrosive is pull the projectile, dump the powder, and "fire" the primed case at a piece of iron or steel. If you get rust after 24 hours, it is corrosive. Does that sound right? Has anyone heard of a similar test?

Can I have a recommendation for an off the shelf reblueing product, or is it better to go and take the barrel to the Gunsmith and get it done properly??

I know that both Hornady and CCi are loading .17HMR, but is any one else? (hopefully this should drive the price down of ammo!)

Lads, any idea what is causing the Marlin to occassionally try and shove two rounds in the magazine. I thought this was caused by soft action use, but that has not fiexed it. There seems to be a round on top of another one. Ideas? :confused:
