Scope change / revised loads

• Zeiss Conquest V4 1-4x24mm illuminated reticle 30mm tube
• clarity & brightness very good
• Woodleigh 320gr RN & Re15 higher mv should fine tune for tighter groups
• 285gr PRVI & Re7 reduced load groups not too bad

yes yes yes Sir.

lovely Rifle... lovely combinations.... en bloody Joy.


i love my Ruger 1... in my eyes, its a little mini of these big beauties... i simply cant handle the big ones an proberly struggle to feed them too, so the more 'common' cartridges suit my needs-- certainly enjoy seeing photos of one like yours being used!
good on ya

it is a common cartridge and even considered a medium caliber ...

not here it isnt so to speak, an even then so, they sting for brass, an 9.3 mm projectiles are of premium price.
loaded ammo average $100 per 20.
tips proberly average $80 for 50
brass per 20.. averaging $70
.30 cal other hand.....

• bore sighted 1st shot on paper 9" high & 4" right
• adjusted scope using graduations next shot spot on
• next 2 shots 2" low & 1" left - gear backlash wow
• re-adjusted 2" up & 1" right - now zeroed
