    10% intermediate burning smokeless like 4227 or so, and the rest 2Fg black powder under a 350 gr. paper patched bullet cast from 20:1 lead/tin. Duplicates the service load and tracks to the sights out to 800M.

    Accurate 43-335B both at 50 yards

    I have had good luck with Alliant 2400 16 to 18 grains with the 310 (no gas checks used on the lee bullet), 16-17 grains for the 335.

    16.6-grains of 2400 for the Italian Vetterli-Vitali load, under a 44Mag 240-grn bullet sized down to 0.426", so the loaded round will chamber.

    Offhand groups to 3" at 100-yards, in competition no less.
    All my ‘toys that go BANG’ will shoot into ONE ragged hole ALL FREAKIN’ DAY LONG ... it's just those darn additional shots that tend to open up my groups!

    You should be joining the Cast Bullet Assoc. They have military categories off bench and standing. Here's a pic of the current 10 shot record target shot in Big Bore Offhand. Although it's a score target, group measures 5-5/8". Was shot with a Swiss M78 Vertterli. You should be able to crush that one.

    The only amendment the Democrats support is the 5th.
