Ed, On 4 Dec 1994 this load made one 5/8 hole, center to center, at 100 yards with 4 shots.  I chickend out and didnt fire the 5th shot. 

Once fired Winchester brass, 170g Hornady (crimped, OAL approx 2.56), CCI 200, 34g IMR 4320, Average speed of the 4 shots was 2089fps

The gun was a Win 94 rifle, 1/2 mag, takedown, with Lyman reciever sight, shotgun but, serial # 685505.  Wish I had never sold it! 

Centennial!
