Got the little FN out of the back safe yesterday morning, pulled it out of the stock and gave everything a good checking over then a cleaning and light oil wipe down, chrome bore cleaned right up with a couple soakings of Wipeout, S&K two piece bases and scope ring screws holding the old gloss 4-12x40 AO were all good and snug, forgot how trim and light this rifle was, went to the chronograph at first light this morning.
65gr Norma 204 pushed the 100gr TTSX with tip pulled to 3499 fps with COL of 3.235, COL of 3.170 went 3475 fps from the 25" barrel, dont know what either would correct to true muzzle velocity from 18 feet away, have three rounds loaded with each COL, will see which is most accurate when the winds settle and rains are gone, i've only shot a couple deer with the 100gr A Frames, [64gr N204, 3450 fps COL 3.200] they melt deer, i think this load will do a bangup job on plains game up to the size of Wildebeest, we shall see this fall.
