I just started shooting an H&R Target 38-55 and am looking for load data for Unique with the Lee 379-260RF and the Oregon Trail 240 grain bullets.
On my first time out I tried 9.0 Unique and the 240 and managed to hit gongs out to 450 yards although the 100 yard group was nothing to write home about. The 9.0 grain load gave just short of 1300 FPS and I'm hoping for a bit more along with smaller groups.
I'm putting a .404 Lyman #17 on and using a Williams Foolproof target knob rear. My goal is to reach the 800 yard buffalo...
It has been 20+ years since I've loaded for any rifle and I made every mistake in the book with this ammo and still did reasonablly good. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dusty
