You've shot these in your M77s?

I'll have to check, maybe I misprinted, but I don't think I did. Agree, the velocity is a bit high, or so it would appear. However, I was just relaying what she writes in her book. If I get a chance to ask her about it, I will. I can tell you though, her husband is a very seasoned handloader and shooter, and knows what he's doing.

War Damn Eagle!
