Just returned a box of hornady vintage match 196gr to midsouth shooters supply
They was cool about it, they know me.
Never optically recentered scope from the hornady stuff
Clean barrel 1st shot
Windage was kinda their, gave it 16 clicks up
Range 100yds
Scope on 3 power entire time
Privi partizin 196gr spfb
Gave it some dope after #2
Gave it 1 click down after #5
Figuring my reticle width on 3 power in ratio to the target is pretty well
Accounting for verticle deviation.
Then shot 5 times at broken up clay pigeons and white painted fist sized rocks
On the berm at around 115 -120yds
Making big plumes of dust outta em.
No heat or forearm pressure issues
Excellent fouling on all lands to end of bore
Tiny gas fouling marks around crown very even
80 plus yr old gun has a new life deer hunting with me.
It's a keeper and shoots ammo I can get online from Sgammo
For 14.95
I'm gonna go to the gun shop I got it from here local for 20 a box and get another 2 boxes from that lot number
for the next 2 yrs
50rds will last me awhile.
Shoot it some more in way cooler weather this fall before rifle season.
