......those Win 555 rounds seem to shoot alright in the Brno.

Would probably be even better if I had a better, more consistent technique. Light sporters certainly show up stuff that you can get away with using heavy barrel rifles.

Yeah mate, 50m.

It was interesting to see that the different ammo I tested (Win 555, Win PowerPoint orange box, Win Bushman, CCI mini mag, Rem yellow jackets) all basically shot to the same point, with the CCI stingers good for windage but a few inches higher. A little tweak on the windage to give that final group (the single one shown) and the old Model 2 is ready to hunt!

Looking good. Have you tried SK magazine in the tin? They have a lot of lube on them but they shoot very well. They are more expensive than the 555's but shoot fractionally tighter in my Winchester Wildcat/Toz.
