Huntin man... There's an article in Handloader, 1969 or so... Paul built this rifle for longe range varmintin'. His son did a college thesis on Ballistics, and used this rifle for test data. I have his original rifle, an old model 70, #5 Douglas barrel, set up for single shot. She's sporting a lyman perma center 20x boosted to 32x for benchrest type shooting. I found your site, which I love dearly, looking to see what people are using for loads. I have been out of shooting for about 20 years, but recently got me 2 ex-marine sons in law. We shoot again!!

Anyway, I'm with you. Maranatha, come Lord Jesus.
