I thought they looked like Westcasting's - I'm currently chewing through a big batch of .30 cal Westcasting's myself. They also throw that first shot flier before tightening right up :thumbsup:

Sorry, don't mean to hijack OP - but Mick check out these Westcasting's 100yd 30-30 groups:

That's with a light sporter barrel too, I reckon they'd have a lot of potential in nice HB 45-70 :drinks:

Nice group mate!! ( Do you have optics on your Marlin or just better eyes than me ? )
I've been using Westcasting's for a year or so now,after HRBC became a bit hard to get hold of.
I use them in my .45 Colts ( Pistols and Rifle ) My 38-55 and both my 45-70's and find them to be a really good product.
Finished of much better than some of the others!!

Yeah that's with an old x4 fixed Tasco - sure does help realise the potential of a rifle/load. I normally run peeps on it but I was collecting data about actual trajectory that day - stretched it out to 300yds with really promising results, could've gone further if I had the elevation for it. The peeps I have for it can be bloody accurate too though (fortunately my eyesight seems to be still hanging around 8-) ), but sometimes under certain lighting it can get tricky and quite fatiguing. The peeps have considerably more elevation which is a plus.

I'm currently waiting on some target apertures that should help considering the rather short sight radius on the 336, but I must say it's going to feel a bit unintuitive regressing to peeps again after results like that :unknown: I do really love that current configuration/load - very practical/lethal indeed!

Yeah I hear you - I'm going to go back and give HRBC another try once I get through these Westcastings - I think they've got the new workshop sorted out now as they seem quite responsive on Facebook chat. HRBCs seemed to work better with Trail Boss than Westcastings - perhaps a slightly better plinker?

Yeah,I only use Trailboss for my single action rounds because of the volume of rounds needed,so at the short ranges we shoot I don't notice the difference.
On the sights,I have peeps on my scrub gun ( .375 Win ) and they are becoming difficult for me to use.
Off to OPSM very soon!!
