A pretty Sharpe and Hart

Jim submitted these photos of his Sharpe and Hart, built on a 1937 Oberndorf Mauser action for his father.  It's a very similar build to the one I own, but mine is on a FN action.    Thanks for Sharing, Jim!

I am loading some ammunition for my 7x61 tonight.  I haven't shot it in several years, and when I have, I haven't been able to get tons of accuracy out of it (3 inches at 100 yards being pretty common).

So, I'm trying something different.  Instead of loading lots of slow powder, I'm loading 4895.  It's still a hefty amount - 47.7 grains for a 162 grain Hornady boat tail soft point interlock.

I don't know if it will matter, but my thinking is that my particular rifle has a short (20 inch) barrel, and maybe it will like faster powders.  Stay tuned.
