not bad.
if you see a lot of that vertical stringing over time, a slight load adjustment should tighten things up.
I think the rifle can shoot just a little bit better.
I'm still working up loads for my No 4 T using the 314299 cast fairly hard. My goal is sub 2 MOA as the rifle will shoot Sierra jacketed boolits sub MOA. So far I'm hovering just above that goal, but I'll get there.
As the eyes get older, that scope sure clears things up a bit!
This particular rifle would shoot as well as our M24 SWCs out to 400 yards or so, but then it's low magnification would not compete with the 10X on the M24s.
Keep your powder dry,

Here is a pic of a no4 sporter i got a few years back. It has the chinsy weaver type mount that requires the 22 style rings. I mounted a POMZ scope to assess it for accuracy with my cast. Quite suprized at the out come.
6.5 gr red dot under lee 160 gr TL
also shot some 314299 from it they must not of warrented a pic.

I have a Lithgow smelly that was giving me fits. nice clean rifle with a very nice bore. I tried all sorts of load combo's with cast. 2400, blue dot, unique, ect.
Then for the heck of it I tried 26 grains of I3031 with a 311332 bullet which drops at .313. GC and cci 200. 3 shots landed into an inch @ 100 yards. This rifle was starting to collect dust, not no more. but I do have a bunch of milsurps to shoot. my latest two are a k11 and a 96/11 Schmidt rubin. so the challenge begins with these. they both shoot fmj bullets very good, but alas I like to shoot cast.
