For the first time in quite awhile, I decided to try some 200 yard work. I took my Savage 99 .300 and some reloads. In this case, a 150 grain Hornady spire point over 39 grains of IMR 4064 in reformed Federal 308 cases, Winchester large rifle primers and an overall length of 2.6".
The first group was rather poor due to target choice. I switched to my old reliable inverted T and let fly.
Groups went from 3 into 3 & 3/16ths 2 into1 & 5/8ths.
Next, 4 were 2 & 5/8ths, 3 of those 2 & 9/16ths and 2 into 1 1/8th.
Again, 200 yards from my 1948 99EG with the factory bread front sight and Redfield 70H aperture rear sight.
Glad I didn't tell my rifle that lever guns can't shoot as accurately as other action types...
