[QUOTE="IKE, post: 35651, member: 2968"] Healing up from a surgery last week I've been off all this week and I finally had time to play with my 7.5x55 K31 Swiss rifle. Off bags with the as issued iron sights I found a load that would group right at 1 1/2" at 100yds, no telling what it would have done with a scope.....not bad for a gun made in 1942 and a fella made in 1950 wearing bifocals. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Although I own several long guns I'm more of a handgunner than rifle shooter, I've shot IHMSA competitions for several years and have deer hunted with handguns solely since the late 80's. Anyway, I was impressed enough with the 7.5x55 round this week, accuracy wise, that I'm very, very seriously considering getting a 15" TC Encore barrel chambered for the round. Not counting my XP-100's and Contenders I've already got 15" barrels for the Thompson Center Encore in 300 Savage, 6.5x55 Swede, 7mm08, 45-70 and .284 Winchester. The 7.5x55 wouldn't necessarily fill a caliber void in my 15" pistol barrels but I just like the idea of having one. I tried five loads this week and the load that the K31 really liked was 43.5grs of Varget, Sierra 165gr HPBT Gameking and a CCI BR-2 primer. 7Ultra I see you're from Madison, Wisc., although I havn't been back in several years I grew up there and went to East High....my mother and two sisters still live there, it's a great plce to live.
