    I find a thumbhole stock feels a lot slower on the reload - but I'll admit I've never put the same rifle in two stocks and run a timer on it.

    I would assume that as the inner surface heats up first, the outer diameter would (relatively speaking) stay the same, so the initial expansion would displace into the bore and thus cause a...

    Anything that will fight a leopard gets my respect.

    I mean, I wouldn't let one marry my sister, but I'd phrase the refusal carefully so as to not offend.

    That would probably fall under the same rules as the Military and Police where no license required for firearms stuff while on duty.

    All of this stuff is VERY similar to what I see on the UK...

    Nearly 24% more bore volume.

    7mm bore area is 3.5 x 3.5 x 3.141 = 38.5 mm2
    8mm is 4 x 4 x 3.141 = 50.25 mm2

    Can't escape the maths

    All you need is a rifle soft case with a tiny padlock on it - fills the lockable case requirement. I have a padlock between the zip pull and the strap d ring.

    I had one impact 2m low at 480m, and the occasional weird flyer at 100. The rifle would shoot 16-20mm for 5 shots, then toss one out anywhere up to 80mm away. Reading online this has been a problem...

    600m? The group looks to be 60mm or so, scaled from 400mm edge length. That is exceptional shooting, well done. (Not trying to sound condescending, it's hard to say that otherwise)

    It helps of the carcass can go through rigor mortis before you cut the meat off the bone. Apparently the fibres stretch against the hold of the bone, and this helps with tenderness.

    Not quite the same, but I was loading 123 sst for a 16" 260rem and had kills past 530m - projectile was picked for low speed opening and was much more than adequately accurate.
