[QUOTE="rdsii64, post: 402923, member: 13978"] I know this is a way old thread, but I'm at work with a lot ot down time. I have that same barreld action in a Bell & Carlson medalist stock. This gun absolutly loves both the Fiochi 40 gran vmax and my hand loaded 50 grain vmax rounds. My best load to date is: Brass: Winchester brass full length sized and trimmed to 1.75 Powder: 26 grains of vitavhori N133 (manual lists this as a compressed load) Primer: wolf small rifle primer COAL: 2.42 The vitavhori manual books this load at 3500 FPS but I have not verified it with a chronograph. This load will consistantly group small enough to hit prairie dog sized targets at at reasonable ranges. [/QUOTE]
