Hi,
Thanks for that.
I picked this hornet up secondhand, and it too has been K'd.
At present I have been only just working up some jacketed loads, and am getting 1/2 inch groups @ 100 yds freehand.
Will be interesting to see what it will do when I get my bench rest built.
I don't know who did the K work on the gun but it seems competent.
The barrel is stil the original Ruger.
I am however looking forwrad to working up some loads and seeing hopw it goes.
The few cast's I have put through it did perform better than the comercial loads. (Seelier And Beliot Belgium), which seem to throw the odd flier.
I only have about 300 gns of Imr powder left :X, and the chances of getting any more in NZ are not good.
Still the AR equivlent burning rate seems a stable and temperature resistant powder, so will just have to work it up
Thanks for your reply and ideas
Regards
Chris
