So I know there are a number of factors involved. With that said, with modern steel, and modern manufacturing techniques, and a good hand load, what kind of accuracy should I expect? I have a newer production steel side gate Henry in 44mag/spl with a 20in barrel with a 1:20 twist (yes I checked it is 1:20)
I went into this with the expectation of being able to achieve 2moa with good loads.
My loads have been around 4moa with hornady XTP bullets. I am working with some cast bullets as well, but I am having some stability issues, which I think I have worked out, but I have not had a chance to test yet.
Is my expectation of 2moa realistic? If not what should I expect from a modern production lever gun?
I also managed to shoot one 3 shot group at right about 1moa at 50yds with a friend loads. I am chalking it up to a fluke right now, but I plan to duplicate his load and see if I can repeat the results.
