.224" (5.7mm) is NOT the bore size, its the nominal bullet diameter. In 22 centerfire nominal bore diameter will be .005"-.006" under bullet diameter depending on rifling geometry, .218"-.219".

RCBS Lil' Dandy powder thrower and a custom drilled rotor or two are ideal for consistency and avoiding electronic scale/powder thrower issues on these small cases.

I know its a long shot but.......

Need a Savage short action model 10-16 stagger feed 204-223 mag box, Savage SKU #105682

Thanks.

The 34g 20 cal VNE is an excellent short range critter gitter in rifle calibers.

Only drawback to the 34g 22 cal in a 5.7 is you may have feeding issues due to the wide meplat,
otherwise the same as above excellent short range plinking/critter gitter.

For what a Savage rifle costs, they should shoot AK groups. I know everyone now has a cheap bolt gun that'll do sub minute groups, but Savage always has, at the expense of that barrel nut that makes everyone throw up of course. I find it hilarious that everybody and their 2nd cousin are copying all...

If its a 'semi-delayed' blowback, crimping will effect the 'semi' part, in a different way than glue/bond/tight neck tension.

hind sight is 20/20 but it does pay to google the names of manufacturers or businesses and see what you come up with. i've been very fortunate to have never had a bad experience but there's a lot of information out there available at the click of a button. Since Google took over the world (i.e., wh...

Hrmmm.......have a trade in mind?

Seriously considering bandsawing mine up into little pieces with S/N legible and sending it to EA HQ.

I consider mine a $600.00 suppository.

You have previous experience with them? Can I ask what your issue was? Did they resolve to your satisfaction? Thanks Casting defect, rear rail screw post, only has 3/4 threads, so it keeps coming loose, feed/ejection is horrible, they won't answer phone, return calls, or answer email. I'm seriously...

Forster Classic works no problems. Already has a collet for the 25 ACP.

Both their QC and customer service are bottom of the barrel.

You got a hand picked thoroughly QC'ed unit due to your position in the marketplace. I'm Joe Schmoe I got one thru normal channels. Biggest QC issue is a frame casting defect, the rear tower for the rear slide screw is missing about 1/2 of its material around the screw threads (casting flow/void), t...

I consider mine (5.7 Accelerator) a 600 dollar suppository. Won't cycle (regardless of ammo), several major defects, NO return correspondence from mfg in several attempts, won't answer phone. It does shoot pretty well, trigger is OK.

Buyer beware.

Best low-cost plinking bullet is the Midsouth 22 cal 34g VNE at 8 cents per.

Was at Cabela's in Allen TX a week ago and they had an entire shelf, many hundreds of boxes of ss197 FN at 29 a box.

If you wish to waste your time weighing every single charge to .01g, on a short barrel, floppy action pistol that you can't shoot a 2" group in 50 yds in a machine rest to begin with, go for it. World class BR shooters been using volume throwers and setting records for ages. None of which is the poi...

This is Lil' Dandy rotor throw data, these are NOT recommendations for loads! Its pretty darned consistent, user technique dependent. FULL hopper, 10 throw avg, rounded up to closest .05g Rotor #6 True Blue 6.05g AA#7 6.15g Rotor #7 True Blue 6.60g AA#7 6.70g Rotor #8 True Blue 7.50g AA#7 7.70g Woul...

Use the 34g VNE's exclusively, Excel MP 5.7 8.5" barrel Tula SR (NCSR) primers. 6.1g True Blue = 2400 FPS avg 7.7g AA#7 = 2300 avg SS197 on my chrono out of this gun only goes 1900-1950 FPS avg.. Or 1850. Or was that 1950. That stuff is HORRIBLY inconsistent, huge ES and SD. Both are moderate, middl...

Still quite a bit of WC844 surplus pulldown available usually for $85.00/8 lbs. Very similar to H335, burns cleaner, works for most any load except very heavy bullets on about anything 223 case based, I use it for 20 Practical, 223, and 6x45. Powder costs (at retail) per rd are on the middle of the ...

I get 6.0g for true blue from a #6 rotor, 6.5g for a #7, and 7.5g for a #8.

Your mileage may vary, batteries not included.

All powder dispensers of the rotary or slide type do not measure by weight, but volume, the charge weight you get is volume x the bulk density of the powder being used. If the powder is not listed on the RCBS chart, pick one that has the exact same bulk density, or as close as possible as the unlist...

Its an 8.5" barrel pistol. Its HUGE. Not a carry type weapon, a target type weapon, which is what I want/need.

BTW I was expecting some nasty, creepy, saggy, 58 lb/ft typical mass produced trigger, but I was pleasantly surprised at how well the trigger feels out of the box. I'm not a pistol guy, I'm a bolt gun varmint shooter who prefers nice crisp sub 1.5 lb triggers. This pistol is for prairie dogs, for wh...

In fact it did arrive.

My MP 5.7 is supposedly going to arrive today.

Still waiting, sure hope to get it here before the first prairie dog trip 2nd weekend in march.

Gotta have a pistol in reserve for those times when they're comin' right at ya.

Mine should arrive in about 2 weeks.
