RE: Stevens Model 200
I shot my Stevens again last weekend. I shot a five shot group with the 85gr. Sierras that went 5/8" for 4 shots that were nearly touching, and one flier about 2" high and left due to shooter error. I also putfive 70gr. Ballistic tips in just under an inch, five 80gr. Speer Hot-Cors into just over 3/4", and four out of five 85gr. Barnes TSX's into almost exactly 3/4". After the first round of TSX's the barrel was pretty hot, and it didn't get cooled down the whole time. Better yet, all 4 loads grouped within a couple of inches from each other.
I'm impressed... That little rifle may be ugly, but 4 different bullets that'll shootunder an inch and within inches of each other from a smokin' hot barrel is pretty stinkin' good.
