Well, here's another one. I bought a V2 Compact model in 35 Remington a couple of months ago. I had a rim cut on it to make it a 35 Rem Rimmed. I made some brass using new 30-40 Krag cases, and a few vintage but unfired 303 British cases I came across. I mounted a Nikon 2-7 scope on it for short range hog hunting. It took me a while to get it all together and load up some ammo, but I finally got it to the range to see what it would do yesterday. I had shot it last month just to fire-form some brass, but this was the first time out with full-house loads.
I am not a target shooter by any means, so this group at 50 yards was impressive to me - 3 shots just over 1/4" center to center! I was working up loads using the Speer 180 Gr FNSP. This group was using 39 Grains of H4895, but I had similar groups with 38 and 40 grains of powder. It liked everything I shot, including the fire-forming loads I used with a light load of Unique and 125 grain plated pistol bullets.
This is a great little rifle. It’s light-weight, well balanced and has a really nice trigger right out of the box; and after this range trip, it is a sweet shooter. Definitely a keeper!.
(Normal disclaimers apply: I worked up to these loads and they proved to be safe in my gun. But, all guns are different, so please work up your loads carefully).
