    I think he should be upgraded to a P76 if a Layland is an upgrade!? @P38

    Would need to play with powder equivalents due to VV availability.

    Nothing wrong with the old Leyland P76 - it was the only car of that era that you could throw a 44 gallon drum into the boot of.

    It's close.

    Only a few mm difference here or there.

    Finally took the CZ550fs out for some load development. I've been waiting for Warne QD's to arrive to mount the scope but they still haven't arrived.
    I decided to bite the bullet and sight the irons in for something to do.
    After a few sighters and rear blade adjustment, I tried to make a reasonable attempt at accuracy.
    The first 3 shots were at 50m and looked promising so I moved the target out to 100m.
    It was pissing down, safety glasses fogging up and the 1" bull was as hard to find as the Old Fella after a dive for crays in Foveaux Strait in winter!

    Very happy with the initial results so will wait for the QD's to arrive, do some final load development if required with the scope and then tweak the irons.
    The top round is the hand load at mag length and a 162 ELD-X
    The bottom, factory Hornady Custom 162 SST for comparison

    Cheers for all the previous input guys
