Targets tell the tale. All were 100 yards bench rested. 10 shots fired at each target. Next test will be 18.5, 19.0, and 19.5 of 4198.

:rofl: Well, seeing is believing, remember the comments on your other thread. If you tried that with a military Swediah Mauser you might not have hit the paper plates at all.

Either keep keep them low and slow (2400 powder is magical for this, see Lyman cast bullet data), or powder coat them.

My GC, lubed 140 grs bullets thrive with 18-19 grs of Vihtavuori N120, which is in the same ballpark as the 4198’s. Thanks for posting!
