took it out to the range yesterday because it was cloudy. Unfortunately it cleared up and a strong downrange wind came up. The rifle seemed to be a little erratic with the first few rounds. I doubt if it's been fired for the last 50 or 60 years. It's been in collections that long. It finally settled down. My best group with 150 Nosler BT and 40 g. 4895 was 1.08", another group with that load was 1.38". Best groups with 125 g Nosler BT and 43 g. 4895 was 1.78". It didn't shoot well with 150/39 g 4895. The bolt is a little hard to open with the 40 g but it shouldn't take but one shot to put a mule deer down so I guess that won't hurt it.
