[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2367783, member: 115658"] I have a tiny little .375-.338 WM & I can get 2550 fps with 300 gr. bullets (12 twist) & 2850 with 250 gr. bullets. I got it for companionship while fishing in Alaska. It has open sights & a 3-9X40 Zeiss scope that can be quick mounted. It weighs less than 8 pounds, including a real thick recoil pad. Using the scope, I can get smaller than 4-inch groups at 300. I used H4350 & RL15 depending. Now during these difficult times of shortages, I use 4000MR. I successfully killed a 8-pound rodent with it at about 225 yards using the 270 grain Speer spbt & 4000MR. Ammo easily fits in my 3.34 COAL magazine/magnum rifle. I'm confident that it could kill a bigger beast, if required. Solid copper bullets should penetrate well. Is it true that in some distant countries, like in Africa, ammo/brass head stamps & caliber marked on rifle barrel need to match? Having some obscure wild cat with a funny caliber marked on barrel, not matching accompanying ammunition, may not be allowed entry by foreign customs or require a hefty "security" fee [S](bribe)[/S] or protracted negotiations, [/QUOTE]
