Wanted to add :the triggers on these rifles really make ya consentrate on ya trigger controll!!!!
That ain't no joke! LOL They can be lightened, I just haven't had the time to go through mine yet.
Considering how tight the two obvious holes are for the GC bullets, I'm gonna speculate the third one went through there too--but it's your story to claim how you see fit
.
I'll look through my books when I get home for some other recipes for ya. I seem to remember one with H335 that I was thinking looked promising, but I'll have to see what I've got--mine are consistent with a lighter bullet.
Unclenick is dead on about the velocities, too. They're running tight from the looks of things, but they're GC'd--let 'em have a more little leg and see what they do with a little more running room!
So long as you have the BHN to take the pressures without fouling, I'd jump it over the 1400fps mark at the very least, and go from there.
