[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1574973, member: 30671"] I used a .358 Ackley Improved Magnum the long version. 250 grain bullets at 3000 fps wasn't difficult. In the 1-12" Shilen I had (hoping for heavier to be available) the wheels seemed to fall off accuracy wise. Generally speaking an uncalled flyer every few rounds. Fire form loads 2500 fps worked great-about 2800 fps the flyers showed up. Partner built a similar rifle with similar issues. Not as reliable as a long range rifle should be. We did shoot antelope to 600 yards, moose, caribou, always left a bigger impression on impact than .338's, but we never achieved the consistency we've seen in essentially the same rifles in .338 's. With the availability of todays turned mono's in the 300 grain range it could be interesting to back track a bit. [/QUOTE]
