Posts: 2553 Jul 14 12 6:26 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Tags : None FINALLY got out to the range with some 180s, 200s and 220-grainers and a couple Eddystones today. What a difference from those 150s. These were very accurate with 4350, tomorrow I'll try some with 4831. Not sure why, but all my bolt action 30-06 milsurps shoot better with those very heavy bullets. They DO have a tendency to beat yo uup a little, despite the greater weight of the military rifles as compared to today's sporters. In any case, had a nice quiet morning.

This is rather ironic since I bought it to shoot up some odd ammo with slow powder unsuitable for Garands. These barrels have 1 in 10" twists which were designed for 220 RN bullets. The 173 is approx the same length. Did you have any trouble closing your bolt on the RN bullets? My 1917 has a pretty tight throat.

I am looking for a new accurate load for competition in the matches I shoot in locally. I like to win.
