    Kickin' it in the butt

    So far I haven 't had alot of luck with the RD359RFTL in my336. They are WCWW tumbled in mule snot plus about 25% mineral spirit, sized aned checked w Hornady checks. The starting loads of various powders (H335, H4198, Varget, IMR4895) have given less than stellar performance. I want better than 5" at a hundred yards.

    So tonight I snuck up to almost full boat loads of Varget and 3031. I'm hopin' this will do the trick. Deer season is commin' and if I can't find a boolit load then the deer will just have to die of copper poisoning.

    I AM hunting with this gun this year! i KNOW THE GUN WILL SHOOT 2" @100yd with 200 gr hornady or rem jacketed rounds.

    I'm running the RD 359-190 over 38gr. of H4895,seated to LIGHTLY touch the lands w/ a FIRM crimp. Groups under 2'' @100yds. & hovers around 5" @ 200yds. Keep at it, the right recipe is out there!!!
