Ill be following this thread, I have one of the early no1's in 243, such a pretty gun but lacks the accuracy I want.
I just got an 1885 in 22 hornet and when I get dialed i'll be bringing the no1 back out. It has a pretty nice trigger crisp and not to heavy, lots of good info here keep up the good info Dennis |

That is a gorgeous rifle. I have a real soft spot for octagonal barrels and Mark is a master at making them. I think the 20 Vartarg or 20 Duster would be a nice choice............Kiwi |

I started with 500 cases and fired each case 14+some times, for just over 7,000 rounds. I never needed to anneal my brass, nor did I ever have to bump a shoulder. Partial FL sizing all the way. My slowest rounds were when working up loads. I started using AA1680 I think it was, around 3,300fps likely the first 1090 rounds only with 40gr. I ended up using 16.0gr. Lil'Gun and got 3,600fps with the 40gr. bullets, Nosler, Vmax and Barnes Varminators. I did load up further in testing, but chickened out on those loads. I barely got 3,600fps in my .222 Sako, with 24" bl. Oh, my buddy now owns that rifle and is still using the same brass I used. He noted it was his favourite "plinking" rifle.
