New rifle

[JKR]

Don,
I’ve had very good results with Blue Dot in cast bullet loads too. I’ve not tried it in the 73 though but I’m sure it might work well. I’m out of it now and it’s hard to find around here. I’m pretty cautious with my 73, it being an early second model. For smokeless I’ve stuck with loads tested and recommended by John Kort.
I’ve shot a good amount of Black through it. I had some 3F Schutzen that gave good 100 yard groups.
