Shooting Long Range takes alot of skill and practice. Looks like you are doing a great job. Nothing wrong with the VV powder it has a good reputation here.
Thanks, BigAl52
this is progressing, yet started from ... nothing...!
in 2018, when I register to this forum, I had never fired a gun or carbine
we move forward with stubbornness, and also good teachers.
the instructors at my range are passionate, and reloading has also helped me a lot in understanding a lot of things, thanks to all the great advice from the members on henry Forum, who are as cool as they are knowledgeable on the subject !
The equipment is there too, I have never been able, for the moment, to progress so quickly to more than 100 yards with the 1895 marlin, which is much less designed for that than the tikka.
The absence of muzzle brake and the power of the recoil does not help to overcome the apprehension of the shot ...
Although I really like this Marlin, it is sure that if I could get my hands on a Henry X in 45-70 (or 357)with threaded barrel , here in France, I would not hesitate to change!
Considering that I am not a hunter, and that the wild boars here, although numerous, do not approach the village, and that there are no bears here
,
the 357 (or even the 44 mag) would surely be more suitable. to have fun at the shooting range ...
Maybe it will eventually be marketed (and available) here ...
lever action riffle in 357 are just starting to sell in France, given the legislation which (unlike the 44 magnum, funny
) requires you to have a B detention authorization to buy ammunition of this caliber ...
see you soon,
