Hello Ben,

IMO, Great rifle in a great classic calibre.

As to over-kill, if you were to hit your Chital or Red in the right place with a good 180 or 200 grainer, it will be just as dead as if you hit it in the right place with a good 150 or 165 grain bullet.

For general use I simply choose a suitable bullet (ie not too hard and not too soft) medium to heavy weight for the calibre, work up a good shooting load with that bullet, and then use it for any and everything one might use that particular calibre for. Concentrate on shot placement. Has worked perfectly for me to date. The only time I have changed that formula is if I have wanted to work up a load for a specific task, and then I simply choose the best projectile for that task, work up the load and go from there.

Fatboy - as to getting a No.1 to shoot an inch from the factory, I'd be pretty confident

Another thing I have found is that a rifle does not have to be a sub MOA performer to be a great hunting rifle, even at extended ranges. It's nice sure, but not mandatory. What is mandatory is that the rifle will put its first one or maybe two shots from a cold dirty barrel in the same place, consistently, every time. As Ben knows, my field test is clay targets. If I can consistently break a clay target at 200 yards or so, under field conditions, (no benchrest and sandbags etc) then I am very very confident in the rifle. The hunting part is then up to me......

Still think it's a great choice Ben.

Best
ALEX
