Author Topic: Target groove Dia? (Read 353 times)

Well I plunked down my hard-earned $$ on a Target today, now I need to gather the components and tooling to feed him. Anyone know what the bores in these rifles slug out to? From what little I've been able to find in my reloading library, it could be anything from .377 to .380.

I'd like to have the ammo on hand by the time the rifle arrives, hopefully next week. Or maybe I'll just put him in the closet, until Christmas.
Yeah, right.

Thanks Bob. I called Sportsman's warehouse and they have some 240 gn. rnfp cast bullets that're .380 dia. in stock, 500 bullets for around $30. I'll be picking some up tomorrow. Midway has Lee dies and shellholders on hand so that's what I'll be getting. It's starting to come together...

Best way to know is slug your barrel.

NEF told me their acceptable range is .375-.380.
