.348 Winchester Improved - what a ROUND!!! Check out John Kronfeld's article on one in the Wolf Publishing "Big Bore Rifles and Cartridges".

Just for a ballistics taste?
250gr. LBT or Barnes 2,412fps - best of 2,530fps. using H4350
300gr. Hoch - 2,305fps.

Scovil ran the Standard .348 article and Kronfeld wrote the IMP version.

Both comprehensive articles, standard and IMP, ran jacketed and cast from 3/4" to 1 1/2".

It is a GREAT honkin' rifle.




Thanks for the info Daryl...you have only confirmed I truly need to have one of these..

Scovil is a stand up guy--have visited with him at a few shows and talked on the phone once several years ago ...
