Dear all, I watched a video last night on YouTube in which a german speaking hunter used a Lane Precision rifle with exquisite effect on two ibexes. Apparently, the rifle was chambered in 300 AA 75, designed by the hunter and built by Lane precision. Anybody, perhaps Dallas Lane himself can provide some information about this round? It allegedly fires 230 grain bergers at approximately 3400 feet per sec. Here is the link for the YouTube video
Info on 300 75AA

I would like to hear more about the 230 gr VLD Hunting he said he used.

Yikes. That sounds like recoil deluxe.

I think he described it as a necked-down 416 Rigby, so a slightly bigger cartridge than the 404 Jeffery.

Nope…it is the same as my own wildcats, which are 416 Rigby Improved with 45°, 40° & 35° shoulders depending on calibre, which are .375", .338" & .308".
The Lapua is shortened and tapered, not very efficient in real world terms, however, it does have a thicker base and web.
Cheers.
