Hello Paul,

that is a beautiful rifle, congratulations!

From which manufacturer are the brass bullets with the truncated cones (one solid, one hollow point)in the picture with the two cartridges standing upright?

best regards

Thank you Rolf (and all) for the generous compliments and kind words.

Those bullets are a relatively new design made by Cutting Edge Bullets in the US. 900 grain solids and 825 grain hollow-points. The latter are designed to cause dramatic tissue damage as the nose expands but also to have deep penetration as the main shaft continues onwards. Tests in artificial media as well as field tests are very positive so far.

Make sure you post lots of pictures of the hunt. Hopefully it will be as spectacular as your doubles.

This is indeed a beautiful rifle and I believe you can walk some miles and years with it by your side.
