<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Now I know this gun can do a lot better than that. What other ammo can I try that might shoot better in this baby.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote> The gun might do better, but how do you know that it will?? If you've actually gotten better performance, why not continue to use the ammo that did it?? Yes, handloading has the potential to give you the performance you want, bu this cannot be predicted in advance, any more so than someone can tell you in advance that a certain commercial load will be better than others, either!! ALL RIFLES are individuals, and the only way you know what one will do is by shooting it! Same story with brands and types of ammo (even lot numbers within the exact same brand, weight and type of load!!!) m If you find a load that shoots the way you want, buy enough of that exact lot number so you won't have to go searching for a load all the time!!

Keep yore powder dry!!
