mydogtwig.14/221
Anyone supplying barrels for the .14 caliber these days.
Reeds has had the longest moving shop locations in history I believe. So they are out.
I'm looking for one of two options. Leaning towards the first more though.
1--t/c contender barrel 18"
2--barrel to replace one of the .221 fireballs in CZ527

mydogtwigRay- thanks.
Called Pac-Nora, they have discontinued making them.
He gave me two additional options off an old note. I'll call each up. Perhaps that will be the ticket.

graybirdI looked into building a 14-221 Walker until I really got into the economics of the caliber. Custom cleaning rod, custom cleaning brushes, custom powder funnel, custom bullets at $66/100 the last time I checked, etc etc etc.
I can shoot a lot of either 17 cal or 20 cal rounds at prairie dogs with the same money.

mydogtwigI agree with the economics of shooting the bad boy .14's Pricey little things.
On Reeds site the bullets are still posted at $37-45 per 100. Yes, expensive. Isn't that similar to premium 30 or larger bullets folks shoot. (I don't have anything larger than a 6.5)
Yes, shooting these is spendy, they don't shoot very far, velocity drops extremely fast compared to a .220 swift. So what's the benefits?
It's something that the neighbors don't have.
I love to let others shoot rifles that they have never heard of. 17 ackley bee to a 219 donaldson wasp. .14 caliber stuff would fit right in there.
Economical to shoot-- NOPE! Fun to shoot-- YUP!
This is a project that has been stewing for a couple years now. One day I'll complete it. Not looking to good for barrels right now. That's okay. There's always another day.
Storm finally broke---
Taking the 17 mach IV out today for chucks.
