    Greetings, We had a very dry Spring in HB, barely 50mm total on our place. We have had over 70mm since Christmas day. I jokingly suggested lighting the fire earlier. Doesn't seem that funny now....

    It was quite popular as a hunting cartridge and very popular as a long range target cartridge even in the Ross rifles. Being a good Army rifle is a different thing altogether, especially in the mud...
