These are being shot out of my Buffalo Classic. Have yet to chronograph them.

shoot mine through an m1873 rifle from '75.
the fabrication doesn't stop in the shop, that's what the field guys are for.

My Buffalo Classic has a Lyman 17AHB globe on the front and a Williams FP-H&R-TK on the rear. The rear sight is elevated 3 hash marks up from the top, which leaves me with about another 3/4" of vertical adjustment. That allows the rifle to have a 100yd zero and should easily allow shots out to 300-400yds if I ever feel the need to try it. Recoil was almost non-existent when compared to loads I made with IMR 4985, and there was no residue in the bore compared to the 4985 which left it full of garbage.
