I'd have to dig out targets to list all the powders, but I know Unique, 2400 and IMR 4227 are all on that list.
And I never found anything that would stay on an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of paper @ 100 yds.
Rifle wore the Henry factory scope base and a known good 3-9x40 scope during testing.
BHNs ranged from roughly 8 to 22. Again, I'd have to pull out and wade thru targets for specifics.
Lubes were White Label 50-50 and BAC. I found 50-50 to be unsatisfactory early on (leading) and switched exclusively to BAC afterward.
Shot groups for roughly 3 months on my backyard range. Roughly 500 rounds.
The short answer is, the barrel had issues.
But. Perhaps I wasn't thorough enough.
