Took a few guns out this morning to shoot and got a real surprise. First I shot my new to me Browning B78 with open sights. I couldn't focus on the front sight so my results were not anything to brag about. I was shooting the Lee 405fp with 12.0gr Unique. This gun needs either a peep and global or a good scope, and for me the scope would probably be best. I do like shooting the falling block action though and the curved but plate did not cause any issures for me. Next up was a TC Contender carbine 17" barrel and this was its first outing. Loaded with Lyman 311041 and step loaded with unique and again nothing to brag about, I have not hit the load for this rifle yet.
Last was an H&R Handi 22" barrel with a cheap Tasco 3-9 scope. Been shooting this rifle a while but this was its first diet of the same load the Browning shot above. Man did it like that combination. I shot the last 10 shots into one target and all 10 went into 1 1/8" CTC. I have not chronographed this load yet but this rifle like it. So the cheap Handi rifle is the clear winner this morning. Here are the results of the last target shot this morning.
