Well.
I tried the 200 grain Core Lokts over 45 grains of Hodgdon LVR, Winchester brass and primers, 2.495 o.a.l.
Velocity 2284 fps! Factory 200gr Leverevolutions clock at 2185...
Accuracy is SUPERB! Have gotten a number of inch or less groups at 100 yards. Larger than an inch and a half for three is rare.
I found a n.i.b. 1978, J prefix, Leupold M8 4x and put it in a standard base and rings.
Recoil isn't terrible, but you KNOW you pulled the trigger.


Keepin my back green and my powder dry.
The LORD bless and keep you
