Re: Are Iron Sights Obsolete?

That's the problem with the cartridge 244 H&H Magnum. Typically British, it should not be a caliber .243 but a .245, which poses a problem with the availability of bullets, and you have to reload this cartridge as there are hardly any or even no factory loads available at the moment.

Rifles of this caliber are still available used for purchase at times. Initially I wanted a Lloyd rifle in this caliber, but because of the availability of the cartridge I decided against it. In addition, the cartridge seem not to deliver ballistically what it promises. It was not a success.

David Lloyd initially wanted to produce his rifles primarily for the cartridge 244, but after that he built above all rifles in caliber 243 Winchester, 25-06 Remington, 264 Winchester Magnum, and a little bit later 7mm Rem Mag.

The cartridge 244 was handed over to the company Holland & Holland and hence the name 244 H&H Magnum. This company also built rifles for this cartridge, the used rifles which can actually be found primarily on the market.
