    That twist will handle 55 gr bullets no problem. If you do rechamber it restamp the calibre designation just in case you pass it forward later.

    Not an ethical choice in my opinion a bullet designed to fragment rapidly will a the fantail said blow a wide shallow crater. I've used the 62 grain belmont extensively on fallow to 200 yards but...

    What about cartridge length to go with that smallest I can find is the 3 mm kolbri at .32 inch, the longest the Jeffery 475 no 2 nitro at 3 and a half inches. The cartridge itself was over 4 and a...

    That rifle and what he seems to shoot with it is proof of the saying beware of the man with only one gun, he probably knows how to use it.

    Chase accuracy not speed, that's what the swede is famed for, anything over 2600 fps will be perfectly adequate for hunting out to 3-400 ydswith that bullet. I use 2206h in my m38 sporterised with...

    40mm liked post by Marty Henry On thread : Steel Target Thickness
    Hang them at a 15 or degree angle that reduces the amount of damage massively. That said most seem to be around 8 mm but they angle will help.
