100 yard five shot group was .60"...first cold bore shot is on left...next 4 were .295". Also shot the Hornady 100gr ELD-M's yesterday with the Staball...great 5 shot groups...none went beyond .70". Did not have a chronograph.

I'll keep reading the mail on this.....

44gr was listed as max with 140-142gr bullets. 43 gave me great accuracy and no pressure issues....so it is what it is and I will take it.

How's the powder fill look in the case ??

43gr is just below neck shoulder junction

Come on Fuj'...give in! experience the POWAH of the dark side...go for a pound.
