Next up was a remington 200 GN JSP that had a plated (tin?) jacket with a lead tip. Powder was a thick round disk type that weighed 32.4 GN. I think the powder was the old "Lightning" powder but of course have no way of knowing. case weighed 192.7 Gn and while not solid head was not baloon head either...it had a little balloon type interior. The back of the case showed a ledge..I hope it shows up in the photos.I am guessing maybe late 1930's or 1940s vintage

Last up was a box I had that can be dated to 1930-1933. This was a 200 GN JSP with a tin plated jacket and in addition the lead tip was also plated. Case was the same as #2, powder was the same as #2 but weighed 33.8 GN.

Now off to the range with the chronograph. Alll I can say is wow! Bench rest, 3 shots at 100 yards with a tang sight. Load #1 did 0.8" (!) with a MV of 2025 fps and is the top right group in the photo. #2 did 2.2" with a MV of 2035. Load #3 did 1.0" with a MV of 2010 fps and is the bottom left group in the photo. I realize one group each is not anything to go off of. I generally need 3 groups before I figure out what load is good, but I am limited with the availability of this ammo and am impressed with the way it shoots! My criteria for loads in open sighted leverguns is 3" maximum. usually by handloading I can attain that (or I will sell the gun like the 38-55 I once owned) and as can be seen these factory loads just amazed me.

One thing I didn't like was that velocity was about 200 FPS under what the factories advertised back then. I do get over 2200 FPS with my hunting load in this rifle (IMR 4064 and the hornady bullet) so just getting 2000 FPS was rather puzzling. Anyway...the tests continue.....
