My Hollis likes Woodleigh or original Kynoch 750’s, with 119 grs RE-15 and a Fed 215 and 5 grs Dacron. Groups were shot offhand.

Nice groups, do you know what velocity?

 

[GeorgeGibbs505]

I would assume 2050 fps. Roughly the 100 gr Cordite equivalent.

That’s almost as good as the group you shot with your 600.

When you get time Flewis, you can shoot any of them . The 600 group was so small because it has half the barrels .

Give yourself a little credit. Off hand with shots touching and a 600 at that. Is the vc yours?
