I have not started loading my LVSF in .221FB yet, but will start soon. Hopefully it like the same load as the Cooper.

rowdy, have you had any good loads in your LVSF?

Actually, nothing that I'm satisfied with yet. Wanted to run 50-55 grain bullets in contrast to the 40s out of my Cooper. With 50 SBKs and RL-7 I get zero vertical stringing but around 1.5" horizontal regardless of seating depth; with Lil' Gun, 3 shots group nice or even touch, but 2 are always 1-1.5" flyers, almost exactly the same as when I tried the same 40 NBT/RL-7 rounds that I run in my Cooper through it. I'm going to check stock pressure points and action screw torque, etc. in case it's the rifle (have a 2 lb. trigger); also my shooting position and gun location on bag and rest - although all is exactly the same as my cloverleaf-shooting .204 LVSF.
