I have one, the "Long Range" model with 34" barrel. My load is 70gn Swiss 1 1/2, a Federal LP primer and a 450gn Lyman boolit. A very accurate combination.
100yd benchrested target
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
Here is a pic of the two loads that I use,
!) Lyman 450gn seated to be just 0.010" short of the rifling
2) CBE 510gn seated so the first driving band engages into the rifling
50/70 Pedersoli (2nd from top)
Hold Still Varmint; while I plugs Yer!
Really nice looking set of rifles!
