[QUOTE="meathead, post: 23040, member: 613"] I have shot quite a few Rockchucks using a Colt Heavy Match Flat top, 20" 1X9" barrel. The load was the 60gr. Hornaday V-Max with 26 grs. W748, Rem. brass, CCI small mag. rifle primer. This combo provided 3/4" groups and stayed in the center of a 500 meter sighter gong with no flyers. Hits on rockchuck were impressive until ranges exceeded 250 yards,then they seemed to run out of steam. I used standard dies and a Lee crimp die very lightly, and the loads functioned perfectly. The neat thing of that kind of set-up is that you can usally launch a Chuck with one shot, and hit it again in mid-air! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
