I took the Win M94 Timber Scout 44 Mag out for initial sight in with my TLC432-275-RF. Wow, same as the 30-30 Win. Very accurate and a cast bullet lover! No problem with getting it zeroed in at 100 yards!
It has a .423" bore and .429" groove, take a look at the rifling. It has a Micro-Groove barrel! 12 shallow grooves, .006", equally spaced with the lands.
Anyway, this rifle shoots great! I had some rounds made up for my Ruger 77/44 using H110, never could get that rifle to shoot anything, but the Winchester had no problem with them. I even used the 77/44's target which I had disgustedly left out on the 100-yard berm over a month ago. I just taped over all the old holes, the yellow tape, and rotated it on is side and shot three shots. 1.564" group (1.494 MOA). The 13 shot string for the Labradar ran 1857 FPS with a 6.2 FPS SD and 20 FPS SD.
Ended up shooting the rifle 21 times but all the chronograph at steel. This rifle and bullet combo with deliver a pounding. I felt it later in the day!
Now, I need to find a hog!
