[QUOTE="signature542, post: 556933, member: 14798"] I succumbed and have been running an A bolt Stainless stalker in .325wsm. Very accurate and cracks 3060 fps with the factory Ballistic Tip 180's.. (around 1 inch) Handloads are better 1/2 moa if you let the barrel cool. After fitting a Limbsaver pad and installing a new trigger spring I have a lovely rifle that absoloutley hammers. I have changed my mind on teh A bolt....acyually the build and receiver metal used looks superior to the X bolt.. Mind you the A bolt has been around a while and is sort of old school which I like. Last stag I shot was just under 400 yards and yes the A bolt with 195gn Hornady pills hit home and penetrated all the way through. Sambar are a large solid deer I dont know why some knock the .325wsm its a superb medium/large game round and that 8mm pill performs. [/QUOTE]
