ruger #3 and a ruger #1 in 45-70 using the same reload at 100 yards, 300 gr bullets at 2000 fps. you can go load to a higher fps, but no needed for most large non dangerous game in the world.

Very informative, I have heard similar reports regarding accurizing these rifles. When tweaking for accuracy, have you ever encountered one of these rifles that was simply a "lemon"? Like one with a bad barrel, poorly bored chamber, or other such defect that made it inherently inaccurate?

I have 5 of them and all are hunting rifle accurate. Those with heavier barrels have never required any tinkering with for accuracy in my experience. I have a #1A 7x57 that did need a bit of help to do its best work but it was a simple fix. The #1A has the lightest barrel but that also makes it great handling rifle to hunt with.

Tease. I have different calibers too. Haha.
