Wally:

I have a Sako L461 action in an H&R stock (little skinny sucker) with a custom barrel. Bought it used from a guy that had loaded around 350 custom 20 gr bullets and used 4227 or 1680 powders. Vitavouri powders were not around at the time (early to mid 90's. He found the accuracy node around 3300 fps which seems very slow. I suspect the bullets are more for match shooting rather than varmint, but have not tested them on a critter yet, but will do so next summer.

Did you try these powders before settling on N 120? Also the best accuracy is around 0.5 MOA which seems to be the best I can get out of .17 calibers even with custom barrels. Would be great to get 3600+ fps WITH accuracy. What average size groups do you get with your Ruger?

Chuck
