Mate,

Mine is a take down rifle retailed through A&N CSL (cased with all the bits). It really is a safe queen (100% factory blue/grey and an unmarked boltface when I got it) but I persist in field use with due care.

My remaining Hornady pills are circa 1995 and the ogive is quite different to Woodleighs, more toward a demi/hemi/semi spire point (music joke). The few 300gn Hornadys I loaded at 43 gns of AR2206 and same of 3031 but I wouldn't use 300grn pills at 43gns 3031/AR2206 again due to stock issues as noted. (and a noticeable increase in recoil: with steel buttplate). Using the MK Ia "bugger me meter" I'd call it at 35ft/lbs of recoil. The few Hornadys left have no sign of "parallel flaws" you speak of.

If you load AR2206 at 47gns PLEASE think of the stock splitting issues. An old gunsmith fella (Ron Black?, no pun intended) inferred that 45-46gn was tops but this was many moons ago and powders are much more temperature resistant (Mulwex that is).

My take is that they are great pig and sambar rifles but larger beasties are at the user's discretion.

Take care.
