    Im biased as have used mini mauser with regular twist for 24 years and love it to bits..... barrel is reasonably short from factory so suppressed it is about right.
    PERSONALLY cant see reason to change,if I want heavier projectile will use another cartridge.
    if I cant kill animal cleanly with 50-55grn projectile I will just have to get closer...... no big deal in that really. the penertration and expansion I get with 50 grn barnes is that good I cannot see why heavy projectile would kill better,its like a mild 270 cup n core 130 grn except damage is done in reverse order on animal.... terminally the effect is the same,or that darn close to it not to matter.
    stagstalker and Scott Cowan like this.
