I've been shooting cast out of my Bench Rest rig for a few years now. This rig is an 1898 cut down to 24 inches. It's wearing a Bishop stock, and sports a Kraghaus long rail and an LER scope. I shoot gas-checked NOE 311365 bullets at 185 gr that Bob casts for me over 19 grains of AA 5744 and a CCI 200 primer. It groups less than an inch at 200 yards doing around 1600 FPS.
