......RANGE REPORT......
Had the opportunity to try the Lazer-cast 170 @.310 w/ gas check and the Hunter's Supply 165 @.311 (plain base). Tried both with a charge of 9.2gr Trail Boss in an '80 Marlin 336 with micro groove and a '46 model 36 with ballard rifling. The Lazer cast shot well in both rifles. About 1"@ 50yds with the 36 w/tang sight and 3/4 to 1" in the scoped 336. The scope has wide duplex and I think I could do better with standard duplex. The 36 shoots it as well as anything I have tried, and probably as good as these old eyes can do. I'm very pleased with this bullet.
The Hunter's supply...Not so good. About 2 to 2.5" out of either rifle. It was consistent! I'm hoping a higher cherge may help, but don't want to go any lower.
I didn't get the chance to try them in my Model 94, but I'm thinking results should be similar.
Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.
Rick
