I just recently returned from visiting a friend in Colorado who had bought the rifle above - it's an old rifle of 104 years with 26" barrel. It seems in pretty good condition & nothing nasty in the barrel. However, we tried various different loads with two propellants H322 & H4895 (They seemed the appropriate choices) the best group at 100yds we achieved was 3" (30.2gns H322) but mostly 4-5" groups. Bullet used: Hornady Interlock 150gn, MV was around 2250-2325 fps.
Brass prep is headspace sized to rifle & cartridge OAL to manual dimensions +/- a couple of thou
My friend is about to try IMR3031.. .. so, does anyone have ideas of other propellant or load data we might check out? Suggestions welcome
