I have started reloading for my 9.3x74R express O/U rifle.
I have a very low recoiling (compared to factory) reload which I guess is maybe 200fps slower. with a 270gr SP
This is not an issue to me as the ranges are short and so are my barrels (i will chrono soon).
My point is its printing with the scope fitted (with a mean zero)
1.5 inch low with bottom barrel and 2 inch high with top barrel.@ 50m's
i reckon for pigging should be fine.
The scope has a drop compensator fitted so if on say a moose hunt a longer shot is required I can quickly dial in a zero for just the bottom barrel.
I also have a reflex sight for the saddle mount as well as the old opens(which are fibre optic enhanced) and i hit a house brick with both barrels last night at 50ms.
The factory manual says its regulated with norma 286gr oryx to shoot within 50mm at 50m's, the norma ammo is very dear.
Should I be happy or will playing with the load regulate them better, all be it at 1 range.
Most of the boar i have shot have been under 40m's which is where the loads i have will be very near the bull.
Remebering even with handloads, they are just under £2 a shot, factory are nearer £3.
