Finally found a load that my old (1969 vintage) 94 in 32 WS seems to like! She's a plinker equipped with receiver peeps and a Lyman Globe front sight. I opened up the barrel channel after the last range trip hoping to eliminate impact shifts and it worked! While I was reworking the forend I removed a few dents & scratches and discovered the stock was birch. Didn't have any stain on hand so I just put a quickie oil finish on it and freshened up the crackly buttstock finish as well. I was so tickled with her performance today I picked up a Birchwood Casey kit @ Cabelas to stain and finish the forend like it should be.
Load is a HT RD 323-170 perched atop 34.5 grs LeveRevolution (thanks, Larry!) powder inside a Hornady case with a Federal Match primer to get the party started. Lube is LLA with a coat of Rooster jacket. Groups well within 2" @ 50 yds, not bad for this loose nut and peeps.
Crimp needs a bit of tweaking but I can't wait to get this old girl back together and on the shooting bench again!
