The 240 Apex was introducted in 1920 (reference C. Hawks; Holland& Holland). It's a flat trajector cartridge and Holland & Holland's catalog claims " Very Flat Trajectory.....Only one sight requirement up to 250 yards.....No recoil.....Extremely acurate.....Muzzle velocity 3000 fps....Striking energy, 2000 ft. lbs." By Chuck Hawks statements...a very impressive cartridge for 1920's especially with powders available. Loaded with modern powders it should exceed the ballistics of the 243 WSM.

My intention is not to start a discussion on the 240 Apex. I would like to know a lot more detail on the rifle. I will contact Holland & Holland however I understand his takes months to get a response. If anybody has one of these and wants to chat offline they can contact me via an email.

I'm curious about build details and potential gun value as well.

Cheers, Ron
