310 cadet
Moderator: joseyclosey
I bought one last year...
...I have just had my FAC renewed and had the cadet put on it so I can shoot it. I have bought 200 cast bullets for it. I now need cases. A fellow club member uses modified .32-20 cases. I will probably do the same as that is much cheaper than buying Bertram cases. I am looking forward to shooting this rifle.

Well, congrats both of you - these little rifles are really a pleasure to shoot, and quite accurate too. Only one problem: before you know it, you're out of ammo, and you have to reload those cases again...
peter, 32-20 brass is prfectly useable (in fact, I do it all the time) - you only need to trim to correct length, and possibly (depends on your chamber) thin the rim, which you can either swage or file (in a drill press). Event hough the cases are slightly undersize at the base, this doesn't cause any problems as the .310 is only a low-pressure round. These little rifles can turn in quite good performance at ranges you wouldn't believe possible, provided you can manage the sights (I definitely need shooting glasses with a cadet) In short, you can use them to shoot gallery matches, but also for classic military rifle (as Oz. did issue them during WWII) - or participate in miniature rifle matches. I wouldn't bwant to be without mine...
