Would like to try this 6mm Rem

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

A little while ago (well several months now) I aquired this rifle is a Parker-Hale 1200V with heavy barrel chambered in 6mm Remington. Due to the Police not adding the expanding ammunition bit to my licence I have not been able to get an ammo for it so last week I got the dies and this morning 100 Remington cases arrived and I have a box of Sierra 70 Grn MatchKing bullets.

Now I know the 6mm Rem is a bit light for your kind of shooting however I would like to start working with this rifle with the view to getting the best out of it for medium range shooting out to about 600 yards. Then hopefully I can get some Fox shooting (red Fox here) and may be later try it out on Roe Deer providing I can get it added to my Deer list

Here is the rifle:-





The scope currently fitted is a 6x42mm with duplex reticle which I hope to change for another more powerful scope at a later date once funds permit. Now these P-H rifles have a fiully adjustable trigger a bit like the Timmney ones and this one is set to break at about 2-3 lbs and like all P-H rifles is a Mauser action. The rifle is bedded with a floated barrel. A factory job but P-H usually did a good job on this but once I start shooting it I will be able to tell more.

Later on I want to try some of the Hornady A-Max 105 grn bullets and see how they perform in this rifle. The rifle was brought used but seems to have had little use as I can detect no obvious wear to the throat.

Any tips or help gladly recieved
