G'day, Robert. Nope, I haven't used anything more than the 180 grain projectile. I have it in mind, seldom as I get to utilise it, as a flat-shooter. However, that donk was 200 metres or so, which is a long way for me!

Yep, John, it seems to slot-in real nice!

The No. 1 in .300 would be my choice of the factory guns to rebore to .318 or .333 because of the barrel length and sights.

I would have to check, but I think the length of the H&H chamber would preclude the use of the barrel for either of those as a simple rechamber and rebore. Maybe the .333 could be done, but not the 318 unless the barrel was set back a little.

G'day SharpsNitro, I think the pack is a Eberlestock Blue Widow. I don't mind carrying it around a bit during the cold season, but I don't think I will during the hot season.

Ah! It looked like an X2 but seemed a little too large. I bought an X1 last year but have not had much opportunity to try it out. Have you tried their scabbards yet?

Nope, haven't tried the scabbard, yet. But I think it'll hold a back-quiver full of arrows nicely on an overnighter. Sorry for the late reply.

I tested the loads for the .300H&H today (thanks to John M. for the loan of the chrony), and they (PPSN and Hydro, both 180 grains) do about 2850fps. They seem to work, anyway.
