    Shoots very well with n560 and eldx 140's.

    Yep got it from Graeme Champion...shoots well with 130gr Norma that I have a few boxes of tucked away and then will move onto hand loading. @Steelisreal yep that's the plan, hopefully get it onto a few animals next year.

    This thread hasn't had much love for some time. Thanks @Pav for kicking it back to life. That rifle looks well sorted to go hunting - is that what you're intending to do with it?
    @Lucky - has there been a range report, load development or tales of hunting prowess with that beautiful rifle that I've somehow missed?
    @mawzer308 - you got some big rabbits with a mean streak up your way? Has the 375 put down a charging beast or filled the freezer yet?

    Shot a few Sika and goats with the 375 h&h, works pretty well.

    Just picked up this CZ99 17hmr for my boys, we've needed something a bit more capable for a while now. Lovely deep polished bluing on these and decent wood. Came with 190 rounds too which was a nice bonus.
