Thats dang good shooting. Be interesting to know how she shoots after gets it bedded. I have used a lot of H4895 loading everything from ballard 38-50 to a 500-450 great stuff.
Thats funny my grandkids go from age 20 to 4. Can't say they all hunt but 3 of them do. One of my grand daugthers ask me the other day "Pop when you die can I have your Colt 45"?
Just wondering, was your first battle rifle a M14?

M1 Garand! I outshot everyone in my BTC using it at Ft. Chaffee, Arkansas in 1958. Got a 3 day pass, airplane ride, engraved cigarette lighter and a letter of commendation from the CG commanding the post! One Saturday I asked the Top for a 2 hour pass to go to town. He asked me why? Told him my rifle as issued was a piece of schitt and I wanted to go get some shim stock and Elmer's glue and if he'd let me go I promised him I'd outshoot everybody in the Basic Training Command....which I did! Wound up shooting 3 1/2 years for the USAAMU at Ft. Benning! Had a ball!!
