Holy Hell , thats one impressive piece of kit there mate
I'm interested to hear that you have no problems getting the 310 gn bullets to work in these rifles .Thats good to hear from my point of view because I want to go as heavy as I can .What sort of accurracy are you getting ( These things aren't Benchrest rifles ) and may I ask why you have gone to a slower speed of 780 fps ( is it a accurracy or sound reason ) .
Any advice on loads etc would be greatly received .

Hi Ken,
Accuracy is the reason Im only doing the 780fps with the 310gr cast bullets. It will shoot about 1-1 1/2 inch at 50 mts with the 310`s just cast from wheel weights and not sized. Once over the 780 fps the groups start to widen but even at 780 it seems to do the job as the photo tells. Got a stag at about 120-130 mts a few weeks back though the hold over was considerable. Slug still went through.
