[QUOTE="CAM, post: 5504, member: 330"] Thanks everybody I like the wildcat style, fit is good and just looks WILD. I have only been loading the 200MKs and just got some 210JLKs to play with. This gun DOSEN'T have the freebore as in our Weatherbys. I have had good results with several powders. H-870, 50BMG, RETUMBO, and I have just tried some WC872. This shell is hard to fill with powder and stay down on pressure, the powders are just to fast for the case capacity. I have only conographed when with a friend. and need to put the info together and do some more shooting. I have the NXS with the NPR2 and need to keep the velocity down a little to utilize the features or this recticle. 105 grns Retumbo 200MK ? FPS (108grn retumbo was a little HOT,ejector mark but was running at 3500 FPS) 111 grns 50BMG 200MK 3350 FPS 113 grns H-870 200MK 3325 FPS first time loading the WC872 Temp was 50 deg. I loaded up to check for pressure ten rounds. 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 115.5, 116, 116.5, 117, 117.5. 9 of the ten shots at 200 yds was under 1MOA and the 111 fouler was 1/2" to the right of the group. no signs of pressure and the case was close to full. The WC872 is like H-870 and smokes like a muzzle loader(J/K)but it is dirty. I think the ball powders H-870 andWC872 are easyer on the tube than the stick powders and could be wrong on this. HoytemanPA I will be checking some velocitys again and will let you know more. [ 04-30-2003: Message edited by: Cam ] [/QUOTE]
