Hankins converted CVA first test run...

My heart sank when I realized how "choked" the muzzle end was and the chattering as the bullet traveled down the much looser bore left me wondering if it would even light off... I decided to have my son start with 50 grns of N120 and we pulled the plug and the 275 grn fury had plenty of rifling below it...so we were good there..(thanks for the tip buckeye68) so he loaded up the 50 grn and  the 275 fury and got like 1685 fps..I thought this was weak and the next shot confirmed this at 1165fps...gas was escaping around the bullet...we had wool wads on hand and what a HUGE improvement this made! The following shot results stopping at 56 grns of N120 with the wool wad and 275 star tipped fury..2320..2434..2450..2474 fps..following pic is at 50 yards...tomorrow he is taking it to 100 yards to see what he has...
