I started a thread about this rifle and cartridge in the rifle forum, hoping to find other members familiar with it. Scorch responded, and he ain't chopped liver, but so far he's the only one. Thought I'd come here and see if anyone has any experience with it - or even similar.
This rifle is putting me through my paces as far as forming cartridges that fit it's very close to minimum tolerance chamber. I think I've got most of the problems whipped but so far haven't shot groups anywhere as good as I'd expect from this rifle.
My rifle is a Remington 40X Light Varminter of seventies vintage. It was built in the Remington Custom Shop, and I understand they were generally made to someone's order. I believe the barrel is Remington, not a different maker. (20" long with 1 in 14 twist).
I realize this was never a real common round, but I'm hoping to find folks who can help me out. jd
