Ive owned this 356 for about 10 years. Got it in a trade with my buddy. Gun was shortened to 17 inch by reggie nonoman other then that stock. Never really played much with loads in it. It had a Williams peep on it and I shot a few deer with factory ammo and thrown together reloads. I put a 1x4 leupold on it the other day and took it to the range yesterday with handloads using speer 180 soft points and speer 220 soft points, ww factory 200 grain ammo and handloads using the rcbs 200 grain gas checked mold and the 220 grain lbt mold I have. Both cast bullets shot at 18 bhn and 10 bhn. Both were powder coated and shot at full jacketed pressures. The worse 5 shot 100 yard group the gun shot was 1.5 and that was one load with the harder cast bullet. EVERY OTHER group was between 7/8s of an inch and 1 1/16. I don't think I have a more consistently accurate sproter weight bolt gun in the safe!! The soft cast bullets really surpised me. I wouldn't have bet a penny that at those pressures they would have shot under 3 inch let alone 1 inch.
