I think the projectiles may be Hornady Interlocks. Fiocchi load some of there ammo with Hornady pills.

No issues with this at all in my experience, only pushed out to 200m at range. My zero changed slightly but that tends to be the case when changing ammo. Still would have been minute of deer without...

162 ELDX, 175 ELDX options too. I’ve seen and used the 162 ELD X and M, 180 ELDM, 175 ELDX, 168 VLDH and they all worked great. Ran the 162 ELDX in my rem mag for ages and it hammered. Load 180 ELDMs...

I found that 2217 pretty good, but I now run N560 for 2980fps with 162 AMAX from 24in bbl. N560 gives me an extra 80fps or there abouts. Also tried RL22 = very accurate, but speed down around 2850fps...

Black powder is very little problem in a Winchester 92 chambered in .44-40. Just pour some water down the bore after shooting and wipe it out with a couple of patches and then an oiled patch - and...
