Paperkiller: I am proud of your thriftiness and the way your "new" Rifle shoots.
Wishing you continued success with it.
I do want you to know though that you paid $6.66 a box for those Sierra 53's!
That $6.66 per box price does represent the sign of the Devil though, if I am not mistaken.
Just funnin ya.
That was an excellent Gunshow buy on your part!
Your philosophy of accuracy/cost is right alongside mine.
Cheap and fairly accurate and I go Hunting with it!
1/2" groups (5 shots at 100 yards) and I call it GOOD - my load development trials are over!
Hold into the wind
