BWAAHAHAHA, they are funny cool little rifles Tex, that's the bullet I have on the way, the 180 Hawk and 19 gr of 4227 is where I'm gonna start, I'll chrono some of the old loaded fmj and softs and keep my speeds there, I've read this is one rifle design I DONT want to fool around with hot-rodding it.
Good to see it will kill deer safely loaded as you show here.
Somewhere I have a box of parts from another 1907. I should really make up a few replacement recoil springs, as they tend to mechanically wear on their guide rods. It's a blowback operated action and a spring fracture would probably be unwelcome
I ran 2400 under the Hawks in my rifle and they worked fine, though have not chrono'd them. I agree pushing the envelope is best not done in that 109 year old contraption.
