SABOTLOADER, you're right. I really don't have aproblem gun. In fact, I really like the gun overall, especially the hammerless feature and the tang safety. It carries and sholders well.
Three-inch groups at 100 yards are OK for a hunting rifle - but dang, I'd sure like to find a tack driving load. Of course, half the fun is in the looking.
Shot the same loads with the same procedures at 100 yardswith the Speer bullet and the Hornady bullet. Those targets are posted below.
Speer Target:
If this was open sights I would say it is excellent, three touching and 2.75 isexcellent.Your XTP appears to be the better shooting round. Drop the load to 90 and see what happens. Chap
