I had shot this gun earlier with 300gr Hornady FTX bullets and it shot really well. This customer wants to shoot 300gr Parker Mh bullets. So I rounded some up that I had sized about three different times and had to knurl these a little and then size them they were still on the loose side. But that is how Shilen barrels shoot the best.
I tried two different powder charges because in the past I have had guns that like 73grs of IMR 4198 and then others that needed just a little extra to bring them home with 73.5grs . This gun will shoot either load equally well. If the shooter behind the gun does his part. I new when I pulled the trigger on the #4 shot it was going to wreck my group that aside I know it will shoot the 300gr Parkers that's the bullet this customer wants to use.
We had snow yesterday and today it was fairly windy temp was about 35deg not bad for shooting

This is our local range and also our high power silhouette range the last clear spot up on the mountain side is where the metal ram targets are setup that's 580 yards we can head shoot that ram with a muzzleloader and people flip out because they can't hit it with their high power hunting rifles.
I had the guy out shooting the thumbhole with the pepper stock on Sunday he shot a nice group at 100 yards and then shot all the metal swingers out to 580yards he was a happy camper.

Nice shooting Elkman . That's amazing that .5 grains of 4198 makes a difference with a 300 grain bullet . Impressive shooting . What's your velocity ?

You can obviously build some "ringers" Elkman. Fine shooting on your behalf.
