I've got 2, one in .357 mag. and one in 6PPC. Haven't shot the 6PPC yet. Really like they way they handle, so far, have not found a really accurate load for the .357.

Someone posted a while back that you were going to sell yours? Apparently not.

I've had the BF Varminteer pistol for several years and really like it.
I have a rifle coming, paid for it, but it's not yet arrived. It is a 223. I hope it's as accurate as my pistol.

Gato, Everytime I get ready to sell the rifle, the amazing accuracy seems to suck me back in to keeping the rifle. Though I haven't been able to quite get the velocity I wanted, the groups are outstanding. I guess everything is for sale as they say for the right price. [Big Grin]

I have one in .32 H&R mag. Like GatoGordo, I haven't found a truly impressive accuracy load yet. Best groups about 1" worst about 1.5" but, it shoots three very different loads to same point of impact. I will try soon to develop loads using .308 diameter bullets to match the bore. I wouldn't trade it though. Most real rifle cartridges seem to give excellent accuracy however.

Well, next time you get in the selling mood, email me, I'm interested in a bigger calibered version. How accurate is it? [Smile]

Gato, My son has shot one hole 5 shot groups with this rifle. Not a hole in a hole, but a cloverlef so to speak.

I have loading data for two powders that worked well.

Check your mail.

Present! 6PPC. Tac and 65 gr. V-maxes...... .4's to .6's for 5.

That's a problem, cause I can't shoot that well! LOL! Dutch.

6.5 BRM bought 4 years ago for my Son(3 at the time [Smile] ). 12.5 lop, French grey, engraved with a few words to him. Shoots 120 BT's into .4's and 120gr X's into .6's. He took his first deer this year with a 100gr Partition @ 2300 fps. Recoil with this load is like a 223.
