Hand a good range day yesterday.
There is , I'm sure, a statistical difference, but I can't tell the difference between shooting resized 32-20 cases and origanal 25-20 case. Groups, poi, chrono, no discernible differences.
A 86g MBC with a MV of 1140 will consistently knock down 1/2 size Ram at 100 meters. Even rump, high shoulder and foot hits.
At 1440 it does the job too.
Using Speer data the lowest 4198 data under a .358" 220gr fn delivers 1717fps ave. mv .
Same load of powder under a Berrys 158 RN 1649fps ave. mv.
Using the Hodgdon/IMR formula for Trail Boss loads, I put a Barry's 158 RN over a m ax load of TB. 1520 fps ave, MV.
My new to me 336A in 35rem came with a very light trigger, comparable to the Ranger Point Precision trigger I put in the 1884cl. Both were a total delight to shoot.
My astigmatism has gotten to the point of being a sighting issue.
Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Productive range day

Re: Productive range day
Congrats there time. Shootin silly wets is just a blast in my book. Brings back memories of shootin levergun silly wet when I use to shoot BPCR up there in CoFisher land of the Corn Towards end when I finally decided it was taking to much of my time I almost enjoyed shooting the levers better than the 1874"s

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
