Was to the range with the old warhorse, seems like Finns never ever give up!!!!!!!!!!

Had 3 kinds of Handloads with me, tried my S-cartridge copy first(150grn S&B Spitzer .311" abt 820m/s), looks good, but shoots to the right.

Corrected the frontsight and loaded 5 cartridges loaded with .311" 180grn Sierra Prohunter at around 770m/s.

Last 4 shot were with Lapua D166 at 740m/s(copy of wartime D-cartridge), not bad , considdering pushing a .310" Bullet down a .315" bore :-))
