Re: Chapuis RGEX

I'd rather go for the 8x57 IRS, very mild recoil, rimmed case and low pressure. There's also enough bullet weights to satisfy anyone. It's more powerful than 30-30 win and perhaps a better choice for pigs but also well enough for moose (in sweden 30-30 win is not legal for pigs, moose, red deer etc). I've got a chapuis o/u in 8x57 IRS and it's a joy to shoot - significantly less recoil than 9,3x74r. I reload 220 gr woodleighs to about 2200 fps, and 200 gr sako hammerheads to 2300 fps.
