Re: Sedgley Sporters From 1930s

As a matter of fact, I did. I found a pristine late 30's Unertl scope for it and it looks correct now. Was able to leave the receiver sight on as well.....just had to take the eye piece off and stow it in a small hole under the butt plate. I loaded 117 grain Hornady round nose bullets and they feed smooth as glass. Settled on a load of 25.0 grains of IMR 4895. I had to seat the bullets just lower than the crimp groove because the throat is just a tad too short to seat in the crimp groove. I failed to take a picture of my last target at 100 yards, but a modern factory rifle would have been proud to do as well. I will try to take a Whitetail next season with it, I doubt it has ever been on a hunt.
