In reply to: But Alan I would like to try using 160 gr projectiles in it, such are available to the .338/06 from such as Barnes and maybe GS Custom. For fallow, chital and other varmints.
But John I thought you were going to make a REAL rifle out of it! 160 grainers don't count! You need a man's bullet in that rifle, a 250 grain. 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318 318
