RustyAnother trip to the Range
The weather was cool nice and overcast wind out of the north. Great long gun weather.
Took the Winchester Mod 70 Safari Express and the Whitworth.
Whitworth 260 grain Nosler Accubonds around 2400 FPS
Mod 70 260 grain Nosler Partitions 2400 FPS
The nice thing about those bullets is that they are factory seconds from Nosler.

vapodogNice groups.....and I assume it's 100 yards..... Now that we're all envious why don't you tell us what the powder charge was.

RustyYep 100 yards.
RL-15 60 gains just a moderate load.
