Tempted for a 5th? 90gn XTP subs makes a great small game option... 4.5gn of powder (in mine) makes hardly a peep with a suppressor!Quote:

Anyone got another caliber that they want to sell?
There's been a bit of a rejig in my rack, if it's a lone mission the dear old 1920s Mauser Oberndorf original sporting rifle "Kurz"model rebuilt in 6.5x47L still gets a walk, but it's not suppressed. Since I've been mostly hunting in company recently, if it's wallabies/goats/fallow the Schultz and Larsen Legacy in 223 gets the call, if there's the possibility of anything bigger then it's a fairly recent addition that I'm enjoying shooting a lot - a Kimber Hunter in 308.
mine has to be my 18inch 300 saum built on a defiance ruckus action , proof barrel, march scope and manners stock, load developed for 178g @ 2950fps, and we dropped a stag at 628m 2 weeks ago uptop of the tarasuas,
Great caliber and set up. There would be a bit of pressure on those bolt lugs?Quote:

For something a bit old school and definitely different from the crowd, my go to is now a 358 Winchester M700. 20” barrel suppressed, was in one of my own custom walnut stocks- but about to go carbon. 200gr bullets at 2500fps give or take.
It’s the only usable centrefire I have, hence it’s the go-to
No pressure signs prob at the edge though, I dropped.aboit 1gr back from the start of a semi heavy bolt lift.Quote:

Even though I reload, every deer so far has been shot with PPU 140gr
