Here are some pictures of friday's range session. Out of 3 (45.5 R-P and FC cases and 46gr. R-P case) loadings with varget and cheap hornady 150 gr. interlocks, this is a good starting point for load development. Seems like 46 gr. of Varget in the R-P case is alright (not great accuracy, but a start). Hope some of you guys with hawkeye allweathers can use some of this info. The rifle is definately shooting more consistantly than before (a definate plus for any rifle). Check out the pics:

4 clicks to the left. Don't think the rifle likes the Federal cases as well as the R-P (Group opens up to 1.30" after 6 3 shot groups fired). I'm hoping to find the magic load for this rifle. I'll keep messing with the varget powder until I run out, then I might try the R-15 or IMR4895 or even the 4064. BSA.
