What are your plans for the Zastava M85? I know a good Mauser smith who could rebarrel it and work out most any other kinks it has but he's not cheap nor is he fast.
Thanks, Dinny
No, it’s happening on the iPad. I’ve noticed if I go back and edit after posting, and fix the errors, it seems to solve the issue. That’s a pita though.
Good question. I’ve tried several handloads now that work well with the Howa and it’s still a no go. Definitely doesn’t like .308 bullets, where the Howa will shoot them. I’m about out of options without changing brass, primers and a new powder. Originally I had planned on probably converting it a Grendel if it didn’t shoot. Now, after getting the CZ 527 Grendel, that shoots well, and my Howa Grendel that also shoots well, I may just rebarrel it with a .308 bore 7.62x39. That would open up a bunch of other bullets choices, and my 7.62x39 Howa shoot some of the Wolf steel really well, so I can shoot cheap ammo with it. We’ll see........
Dinny who’s your Mauser-smith? Is he local? I see your in Gloucester, I’m down here in Va Beach. Got a guy down here that’s pretty good also but, he’s always busy, backed up. Buying a reamer, new barrel, labor and I’m into it for at least another $800+. Not sure I want to sink that much more into this thing. For that much, I could just get another CZ 527 in 7.62x39 this time!
