The rifle performed well as expected, it is extremely accurate due to the Lothar Walther barrel I suspect...It shoots under an inch...I used the North fork 380 gr. softs and their experimental cup point solid, an expanding solid so to speak and thats one hell of a bullet on buffalo..I recovered about 6 of them from lengthwise shots with full penitration from stem to stern. Off the 6 I only recovered one 404 cup point and one soft nose, the rest went through and away..I recovered 5 470s that I was driving 2020 FPS, so velocity does play a big part with these bullets, drive them as fast as you want...
