First efforts...
During the function check I noted a couple of cracked case necks; but the load is a warm one and I recalled thinking that batch of cases was nearing the end of their useful life. I picked up a box of 150 grain Winchester Power Points to use as a standard. There were no cracked necks with the factory load and 100 yard accuracy is promising. If it’ll hold just over an inch with random hunting ammo, I’ll be able to live with this old rifle just fine.
