    Fired about 200 rounds, mostly 350gr cast loads at 1900fps, but some 400 or 450gr loads at 2300-2400fps. The latter were real teeth rattlers.

    Ah! I recognise that rifle. You sold it to Stug, right? I bought the other rifle in that pair (a 7x57) but sold it earlier this year.

    404 a bit too much for rabbits don't you think?

    Too much for rabbits? Nah, never too much. Perfect for goats and feral cattle.
