Ran out to my friend's farm, set up at 50yds and tried a couple different loads.
Center target was 405 gr LHPs and 50 grains of Varget. That one is a thumper. I had a partial box of Remington 405 JSPs that have been sitting around for some time. These shot well and with the weight of this rifle, quite pleasant to shoot. The 29" barrel is 1 1/8" at the muzzle.
Wasn't out looking for tight groups in this weather, but I'm pleased so far. The tang sight was missing so I'll have to order a new one. The dealer I bought it from took it in as part of an estate, but had no info on who did the work. He had a Rolling Block as well, but it went higher than I wanted to pay for it.
The boss lady gave me a gift card for Christmas for my favorite shop and I picked up an IWI 941, 9mm. Should have started with the pistol, Not bad at @ 20 yds or so, but I was freezing by this time and the crummy "WinClean" ammo didn't help. I'd bought a case cheap, a couple of years ago. Now I know why it was so cheap. Not terribly reliable and you can hear a difference in the report every few rounds.
I like the IWI though, it's all steel, heavy and fits my hand perfectly. Looking forward to better weather and spending time with these two.
