Recycled bullet

I am loading a 208 grain
powder coated gas checked cast hollow point in 308 Winchester.
The gun I'm shooting them in is a Remington model 7.
The gunstock is checkered and the texture feels good in my hands. The barrel and receiver have an matte utilitarian type of blueing and the bolt is partially jeweled with patterns.
I like that the rifle is light weight with a thin profile barrel. The gun stock length of pull is short and the thickness of the stock is small. I can wrap my hands around it easily. I like the rifle.
I have installed a two MOA Green Dot reticle tube style electronic gun sight in the front receiver ring.
I shot it at a nine inch white paper plate standing up off hand unsupported at 50 yards.
Shooting relatively quickly without too much preparation, I was getting about a 1-in group. This is a pleasant surprise because how much of the target the dot covers, and my continuing difficulty with standing still and not moving the gun off target while I'm trying to aim and fire the gun at the target [emoji1787].
I will start increasing the powder charge slowly and see if the group's trend toward tightening up. I will stop when accuracy degrades.
I am currently at 25 grains of IMR 3031 and about a 2.75 overall length it just barely fits in the hinged floor plate magazine.
I have an interesting idea of mounting a 3X magnifier on the rear receiver ring on a tilt away mount like how you would have on an AR-15.
To my disappointment it does not feed very well at this length
through the 7.62 AICS magazines that the Ruger Predator takes [emoji1787]
That is a separate storyline that I'm going to start writing in the future [emoji16].
