Took the ugly duckling to the range last week to burn up some old reloads. I must admit I enjoyed shooting it. I gave it a really good cleaning when I returned. The bore has some pitting, but not as bad as I expected. 23 gr of IMR4227, 220gr plain base RN cast 20 to 1 clocked 1750 fps. I enjoyed shooting it so much, I’m going to work on some loads. I will probably try a little slower burning powder. Who knows, I might try for a whitetail with it.
