Hello Folks, well I've got some loads worked up for 50 and 100 metres for my 54 GPR using Wano 2P, 0.0105" compressed cotton drill patching lubed 7:1 with Ballistol and matched weight round balls and changed the front sight over to a Lyman 1/16 white bead jobby(what a difference!).
50 metres I use 80 gn and rested it shoots 3/4" to 1-1/2" groups .
100 metres I use 110 gn and have them all within the width of the 8 ring but 2-1/2 " low though one click up of elevation punches them thru the top 6 / 7 ring band( all 5 shots were in the region) so have cut a half click in the screw and feel confident of being able to get it peppering with in the 9 ring.
I reckon this rifle is a sweet,joy and good value but grouping is very sensitive to patching thickness would like to here others opinions/loads on the 100 metre mark .regards P
