A neighbor, who is not a rifleman or reloader, but a helluva hunter, brought over his '99 last year to have me cook up a Calif legal copper bullet load, Barnes 130 and 41 grains of 3031 gave us nearly 2800 fps and 1 1/4" groups, with easy extraction, which may indicate safe pressures. We seated the 130's much deeper than I normally would, but no problems arose. And, it worked well for him last season, good guy that he is, he brought us a backstrap.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
