Accurate "Dead on" with your reloads.
Thats what is so great about reloading................even if you have to be 150fps slower than factory...........and another vote for the 170gr JFP bullet for maximum penetration.
Hornady 100gr plinker for "Wabbit".

Nice looking gun there! And I'm not really looking for beefed up velocities, but I do want factory velocity or close to it. I WILL NOT risk a high pressure load in this rifle. It can not be replaced. It was the first rifle my dad got after he married my mom. When he passed it down to me, it came with the original box of ammo (of course it was corroded and had green gunk around the case mouth). I have found it to have an excellent trigger pull (before they were lawyer-ized) and very accurate with factory 150 Core Lokts.
