Pete, have you shot the bullshops out of that rifle yet?
Yes, i did a couple of trips back... I had to knurl some .504 Bull Shops to get them to fil good going down. They shot very well from the gun...

Eventually because of Idaho rules - I will end up shooting them for ML hunting.

FWIW My mk-85's seem to shoot best with a load that isn't quite that hot. I usually use between 90 and 100 grains of triple 7 2f. I have shot 100 grains of goex 2f with good results also.
Yes, but I am stubborn... if it will not shoot what I want i to shoot then I do not need the gun... but then, I am quite sure 100 grains would do all that I need done - but then I always think what if...

And a 2" group isn't to bad with open sights and 110 grains... the other thing is I am not recoil conscious so I do not even notice... The thing that makes the difference I think is this gun sits so well in this thumbhole Extreme stock.... no float at all on the barrel - just snug as a bug in a rug....
