I just slugged the bore and it's somewhere between .323" and .324" so I believe we're good to go with normal .323 bullets.

We are going to South Africa next year for plains game and this is probably the rifle she'll be using (unless she finds something she likes better). When I was there in 04 the longest shot I took was at a warthog at about 100 yds. Everything else was under 50 yards and we'll be hunting the same area next year.

Here she is at full recoil:

Little lady with a little gun.

No pressure signs with the Remington 170gr ammo, but I realize it's loaded down in case someone shoots it in a .318" bore.

I'm thinking that she should use a moderate load with a 185gr to 200gr bullet The biggest animal she's planning on hunting will be Gemsbok.
