I own a Shiloh products model 100, .54-100 perc. sporter with set triggers. Round barrel and military butt.
Serial # 26x. I bought it from a friend who bought it new in 1976. I use a NEI mould and a Shiloh Products mould that came with the gun. My hunting load is 490gr ringtail over 90gr FFF triple-seven. Target loan is Shiloh Products 425gr "wad-cutter" over 55gr FFF. By far, one of my favorite rifles.
New York, New Hampshire, same difference.
I get a kick out of how rifles are described as being a "creedmoor"...and then go on to say it weighs 15 to 20 something pounds weight with double set triggers. I wonder how many modern shooters would care to touch off a real ..44-77 thru .45-100 Creedmoor with it's regulation 10lb. weight limit and minimum trigger pull of 3lb.?
