Default 6 Ugalde

Steven,

I had a rifle built in the early 80's by Wes Ugalde of Fallon, Nevada. I bleieve he desogned the cartridge. At that time the only viable bullet for varmints was a 60 grain Sierra. It would shoot quarter minute groups all day with 27-28 grains of 748 which filled the case.

I've since rebarreled the rifle because I've become a .20 nut, but used to love the rifle out to about 300 yards. I reall would consider the 55 Nosler because it is so much more frangible. You won't see the velocity with 748 that you would with some of the other powders, but I've always strived for accuracy above velocity. Good luck.

Bruce
