ScottD,
I have only loaded the 130 gr. Hornady spitzer pushing it with a moderate dose of Varget. Don't have but one group (if calling it a group is not an exageration) of 3 shots in 1.5 or 1.75 inches @ 100 yds.
I was only loading for 'ote and cougar. The group would be "minute of bear" or "minute of hog" at close to moderate range but not the right bullet by any stretch of the imagination.
I think the rifle is staying with me now, and as a result of that, I plan to work with some 150 gr. Power Points that I procured a few years ago.
Either way, laser accuracy is not the point. Quickness is the fortay of these guns. Long life is not in the cards either. This particular weapon has the "742 itiss" already.
At 100 bucks for scope rifle and sling I can't gripe! (The Holosight was already mine).
One other point: The Rem autos were noted for sticking cases and tearing the rims off. This one was bad for this at first. The previous owner was not good at cleaning this rifle. Maybe not even good enough to be bad at it (more like terrible). A good cleaning and torn rims and stuck cases are a memory.
Regards
Three 44s
