Well it's been about 4 months since my last post. I finally got the hand-guard (top wood), barrel band, and nose cap; and I believe that helped settle some of the barrel vibrations and tighten up the grouping a little.
A little recap; I have an original Model 1909, Argentine Cavalry Carbine. I liked it so much, I built one out of a 1908 Brazilian action and a Argentine barrel & stock. After all was cobbled together, took it to my GS to check head-space. After it checked out, I have put several different loads through it, using 4064, 3031, and H-4895 and AA-2495 with 150 grn spitzers from Sierra and Hornady and 180 grn Speer Round nose. Best results so far are with Hornady and 2495 and 180's with 4895.
Not too bad for some 100+ year old parts Ready for Blacktail season
