Guys this little project is becoming a saga. I bought the rifle at one of the auctions. When it arrived it looked brand new. However the bore was fouled and that has been a project in itself. I kinda expected that though so no problem. Anyway I've been to all of the web pages for the major manufacturers and I have the info they have made available. I've also contacted Berger Bullet for their data since it is their bullets that I will be using.....What a class act! Very friendly and helpful! Far above anything that I expected. I've also sent in and received orders from Midway and have another order arriving sometime tomorrow... There was a mistake made in one of my orders and I'm very pleased with the way that theyhandled things. Anyway the load books are in the order that comes tomorrow.......
Catfish I'm a little south of you. Not too far, just down I-75. I live in the Middletown area....The powder that I'm planning to start with will be Varget. Mostly because I have some on hand. Based on the data from Berger Bullets I'll start with 20.5 grains.
