Looks like that 300 gr load is working good for you - nice group!
At my age, there IS nothing better than shooting.

I tried a little more with working up a load. I did 8.7gn titegroup with the300gn bullet and put my 2x scout scope on and never thought my lever action would shoot like this,
The top 3 were just regular loads of 5.5gn 700x with a 250 gn bullet aiming at the top of circle center. That is my normal group which I'm used to. The center 3 I couldn't believe. All this time time I just thought it was the rifle or me.I guess I found the just right load were it hits right where you point.
If I take the scope off I can still shoot with tang sight as it is just high enough to see over the scope mount.
That's at 65yards

You're experience has been mine and is why all my R92s are scoped with scouts. The R92 is a tack driver!

I wouldn't have believed but 3 in a row isn't just a lucky shot.

:shock: , wow ... if I can even come close to that after the Red Dot is in place
I'll be one happy camper.
I'm thinking of leaving the peep on if I can see over the scope base. Might just
remove the aperture if not.
