Started to reload for my Para LS Elite.  I went with the Hornady 180gr. XTP and a RNFP 200 gr. hard cast bullet.  I was surprised at the results.  As to powder I went with WC820 (AA9).  They both shot very well, but the hardcast bullet shot best.  These targets were shot at 25 yds.  Remember these are initial findings:

This is the best group with 200r. hardcast:



This is the best group I could get with the 180gr. XTP:



I plan to work on these reloads with other powders and maybe bullets.

Here is the gun:

That's some really good shootin at 15 yards. Maybe the factory pulldown section of this web site will show you what powder Prvi used to load that round?

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks."
- 1785, Thomas Jefferson
