Well, my vintage reloads about all gone, I decided to apply all my new knowledge about reloading and apply it to the 77V.

Shock!!!! The freebore is so long, that a 52 MHP will not come close to the rifling, even when barely bumped into the case mouth. Seat the bullets so they feed from the mag and they are way off the rifling still.

The rifle doesn't know about proximity of its bullets to the leade, as it still shoots like a demon despite all that "extra" space.
