My new ruger is a keeper.I just need to work up some loads.I have H-1000,IMR-4350,IMR-3031 on hand and 130gr bullets.

Nice lookin' rifle. But that's not the 1/2" 5 shot group that everyone on the 'net can shoot at 200 yards. What will you ever do with a rifle that shoots less than 1/2" out of the box?

Sounds like you have a plan, keep us informed.

Always a gun that is dear to me. A Ruger 270 MKII was my first deer rifle ever.

Have fun and go kill critters.

At what distance did you shoot? - Lorenzo
