Found a nice Model 88 built in 1968, vintage Weaver base and rings, did put a newer (1988) Leupold 3.5-10x40AO on it Sunday after cleaning it up good. Brass comes from Starline via UPS today, have all the other components I need, hope to get it zeroed next weekend good enough to do work up a whitetail hunting load. Got plenty of IMR4350, Re22, and two pounds each of VV540 and VV560. Found several boxes of Hornady .243 90 grain ELD bullets - never used them before but they were available - guess I'll learn about them now. Also bought two boxes of Speer 90 grain HotCor. Anyone played with either of those bullets in the 243 WIN before?
