Never did i like shooting my precious hunting rifles everyday. This led me to purchase a new (old) unfired rifle to use for practice. It came yesterday, and a scope was mounted. Today it was shot supported for several shots at 25 yard, and at 100 yard. The scope dials were turned until it seemed about right. Then five shots were made unsupported. The load was
screwbolts 289g hard cast, 105g Blackhorn, black crush rib, W209 primer.
