with somewhat better results that those obtained previously, for sure. I took just ten bullets out this morning, since I was aiming to spend more time with a S*i*d*r rifle instead. First two shots this morning shooting a 585gr hollow base smooth-sided lightly greased bullet, over 70gr of Swiss 2Fg, went ten inches apart at 50m. It also hurt like h***. Having had an indecent amount of facial surgery a couple of years ago, I can reliably inform you that that was not one of my better ideas.
Sooooooooo, nursing my fragile fizzog, I dropped the load to 60gr to see what might happen.
This is the result of the last eight shots.
I'll try slightly upping the load next time I'm out, but for now, it's a good start.
