Re: Hunting with the 303, please report

Took the "Speedish" Lee out this evening on its maiden voyage.
Used .308" diameter 180 grain Remington Corelokt bullets and IMR4064 powder. Started at 38.5 grains and stepped up slowly to 40.2 grains with no pressure signs. Primers are still nice and round at the edges.
Groups went from 2" for 5 shots at the beginning and my best (with 40.2 grains) was 1.6"!
Recoil is straight back and feels light.
Going out next week to practice field position shooting and to test impact with the 200 & 300 yard sight leaves.
Did I mention I am really liking this rifle?
