[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 8222, member: 1441"] Dave, I highly reccomend the chambering. It is renowned as one of the most "inherently" accurate cartridges out there, developed in 1974 by Luis Palmisano and Ferris Pindell for benchrest competition in a .22cal. Later it was necked up to 6mm for shooting at longer ranges(600mBR) As anemic as it may be I have never found the somewhat meek energy it creates to hinder performance on game. I guess the animals haven't read that book. My rifle shoots 70gn Nosler ballistic tips best, grouping to .2MOA over 28gn of VV N133, seated to the lands. 3140fps. I use it a lot for hunting, usually head shots but the odd chest shot does come up with deer. I have taken fallow doe at just over 300m with a heart shot, finding the base of the 70gn b-tip under the skin on the off side even at distance. The bullets tend to blow up but the solid copper base keeps going. I big fallow buck I shot front on in the chest at around 70m went about 35m before piling up. I use it for roe deer quite a lot, body shots and have yet to recover one. The biggest disadvantage is that it is not very flat, so you can't go out into the field without a rangefinder even if you only want to shoot to 300m. This is mainly due to the fact that I zero @ 100m, because that puts me on the first dot down on my NF 3.5-15x56 NR-1RR reticle. The rifle is a Sako stainless/laminate and I usually shoot prone off a bi-pod. Ozelapids,... well I used to breed Australian elapids (see venomous snakes) and later other stuff when I moved to Italy. These days I've given it up, although I've never had a bite, not because I'm good or great, because I'm careful, but the risks(doctors? [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] ?) should it ever happen here. [ 12-07-2003: Message edited by: EXPRESS ] [ 12-07-2003: Message edited by: EXPRESS ] [/QUOTE]
