Re: Cogswell & Harrison .242 Vickers

50 Yards.....
The 1 5/8' group is offhand, the 3/8" group is over bags.
Loaded with .25 caliber Nosler 100 grain ballistic tip drawn to .254". Still slowly working loads up and these are at 2425'/sec.

The 2425'/sec took 40.5 grains of IMR4350 with no pressure signs so I will continue upping in .5 grain increments.

May try Reloader 19 at some stage. Hope to get 2750'-2800'/sec to duplicate original quoted velocities.

Truly a "blast from the past" as this rifle possibly has not been fired since the 1950's

As an aside; this rifles first owner was one Ivan T. Sanderson. Quite a character I'm sure......
