A Load Worth Keeping

You're getting a very useable velocity at a pressure that doesn't begin to abuse the gun, and accuracy that is absolutely something to write home about. This is beautiful work from a beautiful rifle. Provided it shoots a 165-grain Nosler Partition as accurately (or nearly), one might be tempted to take it to Namibia for use on all sorts of antelope and maybe a warthog.

Even if you never fired a shot, the rifle would be so picturesque in that environment... as if you'd stepped right out of a Hemingway story. Worth doing if only for the photo op.

PS: What is that lovely 'Gordon's Reloading Tool'? Presumably it can be downloaded and used, provided one pays the appropriate fee?
