[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 990757, member: 56732"] I'm torn between the CZ 550 in the H+H that I could have reamed to Whby. And the 20" barreled Ruger Guide Gun. . I enjoy all day long packing the shorter barrel. But would really like to accomplish 2700 fps with the 300 or 320 gr CEB. 2600 fps would work for 800 yards plus. Which in reality is a pretty long poke. I've seen guys talk about stainless Ruger's with a 23" barrel which would be better for velocity. But not as good as the 25 1/2" CZ barrel. I'm pretty sure I still have H+H dies. But I think I necked up all my brass to 416 Remington. I know for normal hunting ranges in general I would be money ahead with the Ruger. But this is LRH and the CZ has the mag box length and size. I think I need to study bullets more. Also I'm not very keen on the 235s on deer. They can make a horrible mess if you catch the leg bone up close. But I have killed deer that were hiding behind a tree by shooting thru the tree with a steel jacketed Winchester solid from a couple different 375 HandH Witworth Express rifles. I usually packed a half dozen solids extra when hunting and have shot several deer with them. I found NO DIFFERENCE in the killing ability of the 375 on deer between the solid and the Hornady RNSP at 2530 fps mv. [/QUOTE]
