Winchester 1892 at the range...getting there.
Finally got my 1892 Winchester made in 1894 to the range. With Remington and Winchester factory ammo it keyholes wildly. I pulled a Remington factory .32-20 round and the bullet measured .308, I didn't measure the Winchester bullets, but the way it keyholed and missed the target completely, pretty sure they were the same. There was a clay target at 125 yards set up on a berm, so I took a couple of shots, one hit about 10 feet or more the left, another about the same to the right.
Then I got out my handloads, with are Lyman 115 grain cast bullets, .312", which is what I slugged the bore at, over a mild load, 4.5 grains of Unique. I loaded these for my 1885 Low Wall before I got the 1892 Winchester.
The group isn't great, these are actually a couple different groups at 25 yards. You can see it looks like the rounds are starting to keyhole a bit, but they are much better than the factory rounds, which at 25 yards wouldn't even be on paper or if they were, would have gone through the target sideways. I plan on getting some more bullets, the next ones will ne .313" so I can try to get some better accuracy out of the old gun.
