I took the rifle to the range today to try some new data loads, actually went with the Dan Newberry method mostly, and came up with a powder charge.
I have only to adjust AOL to get a real dandy load with the 160 grn Accubond and Imr 7828, and then I'm on to the 140 grn Accubond, to find a dandy mix for it. I will try to get some pics of the targets I shot today, they're pretty decent for a hunting rifle, that only cost $350.00. The main reason to even try this many different bullet weights is just in case I get to go west one day, I want to be ready!!
