Yep , Bills the knife maker, and that 50m group was 60mm on the outer edge, at 100m it spreads to 150mm and I take a 6 0clock aim on target, at 50m and 100m it shoots 1-1/2 to 3" high. This is with...

The original loading was 70grs of black with a 500gr bullet, but in the light carbine Springfield it would knock the shooter off the back of his horse. So it was down loaded to 50grs and a 405gr...

Hi Rossi.45, Have to say no, not a long range rifle, not bad at 50m but spreads out a bit at 100m. It is a black powder cartridge so trying 65/70 grs 3f with lead bullets, 420gr and pp ones with 3031...

My son and I both have [almost] matching Husky 308's, 20" barrels, both made about 1961. Mine would be lucky to have fired 100 rounds in all those years, and from the look of his rifle, it would be...

I'll write up a report, if/when it proves to be successful... The last subsonic project was a bit of fun, this is my fourth one.
