Re: Crackers for the 9.5

Gentlemen:
The rifle is a take-down so in effect it has a huge de facto bedding-block for the rear tang. Also, the stock appears to be a very good early Brit replacement, in that it is not checkered, and the receiver-ring and part of the barrel channel is bedded. The wood is quite dense also, and offers no cause for concern over cracking. Nevertheless, I don't plan to exceed 47gr AR2206, but hope to creep over 2100 fps at least by a little bit.

Another local 9.5MS-owner I spoke to yesterday said that he quit adding AR2208 when he got to 2100 fps, purely because of recoil. His rifle may be a little lighter than mine, though. I guess I should weigh mine at some stage...

...and yes, I know, photos too!
