    one of those cartridges that made sense back in the day for varminting before rangefinders, and common dialing of scopes . . . now we have high BC heavier longer bullets that take critters at what varmint shooters of yesterday would think impossible ranges.
    when i was reading Guns & Ammo articles or Nick Harvey articles on varminting 300-400 yards was seem as extreme range where all the big guns/wildcats were bought out, now its common for a .223 to do it.
    Ruger No.1 in the Swift will be a natural pair . . hope to see pics in the future
    Rich007, Micky Duck and Hermitage like this.
    without a picture . .. it never happened !
