I went to the range yesterday and shot four shot groups with a fifth to check velocity, I didn't have data for Lever' and the ProHunter's so I stopped at 43.5 and that was 2081 fps, groups steadily grew tighter as velocity went up and she is definitely ready to hunt. I fired one over the Magnetospeed earlier today with 44.0 grains and it hit 2120. Hodgdon listed 2116 with Lever' and 200 FTX but out of a 24" barrel so I loaded some more between 43-44 grains for the weekend and to check the drop at 200.
It was stiff after re-assembly and it turned out to be the detent button in the lever, once that was free and lubed it functions real nice and slick.
I have not had as much fun with a lever gun since my 1994S 44Mag
