     GUN DETAILS   A 1979 Ruger M 77 vt.  26" medium target/varmint bbl.  Was fired little before I purchased it a month ago.  There is no throat errosion at all.  In near mint condition overall.   
     OTHER DESCRIPTION  I was working up a load for the 87 gr. v-max and this happened to be one of them.  In my Ruger this was the most accurate out of 9 loads ranging from 36.4 to 38 of Hodgdon Varget.  Each load was a 5 shot group at 100 meters.  I added it to this site cause I can't find a load for the v-max in that gr wt and powder type anywhere.  Figured ther might be someone else like me looking.
