Schmidt-Rueben K-11

[Old Scout]

I have both a K-31, and a K-11 S-R. The K-31 has been shot quite a bit, but the K-11 had not been firede by me yet. Since I was planning to shoot this rifle in a Wild Bunch match later this month, it seemed only prudent to check out what it likes for lunch!!
Wild Bunch is a lead bullet match, so I selected my favorite cast 30 Cal bullet. That is the LBT 170-310-LCFN, a flat point spitzer design, linotype, gas checked, lubed with my standard Javelina 60/40, and sized .310".
I keep a couple dozen different powders on hand for test purposes. Selecting 6 that would probably shoot well in this cartridge, I "guesstimated" charges that would produce a velocity of about 1500 to 1600 FPS, loaded up a batch and headed for the range this morning. The weather was good, flat lighting, now wind and about 70°F.
Results looked like this at 50 yards range:

H-4895 25.0 Grs 1535 fps 5 shot gps of 1"
SR-4759 16.0 grs 1590 fps " " 2"
H-322 24.0 grs 1588 fps " " 1½"
IMR-3031 24.0 grs 1520 fps " " 2"
AA DP-68 22.0 grs 1479 fps " " 1¼"
AA 1680 18.0 grs 1508 fps " " 2"
Salvaged powder 22.0 grs " " 2"

Now I shall load the better 3 powders and check them out at 100 yards next week. To much work on the bench to go back out this week!

Cheers
