What ammo? Sound like Hornady LeverEvolution stuff.


Actually, no. It is a load built around the Hornady 170 grain FP, which is about as aerodynamic as a brick, but is horrendously accurate in my M94. Starts out at 2184 fps, and keeps it's speed like it has the brakes on. grin You'd have to see the 100 yard groups as opposed to the other bullets tried, and coupled with the fact that the huge majority of my shots are typically in the 50 yard range, I chose accuracy over BC.

I do shoot the rifle a lot at 200 yard targets, and that helped quite a bit.
