Cast a couple dozen 165 grain RDs and shot them out of my Winny 94 and a couple 300 savages.

Very pleased with some guessed-at loads.

The rem. 722 300 savage didn't like the loads. But my Winny and mod. 99, both with peep sights, did very well.

The 1903 Mod. 94 .30 WCF put 4 rounds into 1 3/4" with a flier taking it to 3 1/2". That's with a 20" barrel and old eyeballs.

The 99 .300 Sav. put three RDs pushed by 32 grains of 3031 into 2 1/2". (That's all I had left after firing the Rem. 722 .300 Savage.)

I don't think I can do better than that.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/01/a1d4dadbb70b695ac487d6a413b6fbd3.jpg

Nice! That's great for 100 yds. I love the 165gn RD bullets for my Marlin. Been using mine sized to 0.311 and loaded over around 16gn of Alliant 2400. Easy to keep within an inch at 50 yards, and can get inside 3" spread at 100 yards with the right light. Just using a peep sight with mine too... at 100 yards I'm making my best guess as to where the center of the fuzzy target is. :)
