Hello,
I have only had luck with Ruger M77's and No.1's with 175 grain bullets. 139, 140 and 145 would not group on paper well for me. 3 to 4 inch groups. The 175 grain offerings would get me about 1.5 inches at 100. While that is acceptable for hunting, I want to shoot lighter bullets for longer range. We both know that the 175 bullet is a great round with proven performance.
I hope that my Winchester will allow me the opportunity to load some of the lighter bullets. I have nothing bad to say about Ruger products. I own several and they are great performers but I think the 7x57 chambers are deeper and require longer bullets for accuracy.
What have you seen in your experiences?
I am waiting on rings and bases for my featherweight so I can start the process with seeing what it likes.
