sure i would love to tell you more about this little rifle . the sad thing is most guys would never even pick up a rifle like to hunt with . it does not say super mag or ultra mag anywhere on it so it must not be big enough to ever kill anything in the lower 48 where so many guys need a ultra mag to shoot a huge whitetail at 47 yrds from a treestand. thank god they have so many nice flat shooting rifles these day to make all those super long shots from tree stands. now that i got that off my chest lets see if i can shed some light on this fine little round and just how well it really works.
the rifle that i now have that is chambered for this round was custom build by a very good friend that left it to me when he passed away this time last year.
he started a ultra light arms model 20 single shot action then sent it to a good friend of our in texas [ triple G gunsmithing ] to have a krieger barrel installed after it was chambered for this round . the round is mostly just a 30 rem necked up to .358 . then after he got it back and installed a jewell trigger he took it to lone wolf and had a 12 oz. stock made for it to his specs.. he also had a set of custom neil jones loading dies made for it.
he then did alot of bullet testing over at my place. i have 100.200, and 300 yrd range outside my front door and also a small creek we use to soak phone books in to do our bullet penetration testing with. after all this testing was done he ended up with 3 bullets that did what he was looking for barnes TTSX 180 gr. , hornady FTX 200 gr. , and north fork 200 gr. as you can see in the pix that the 180 are also moving right along @ 2529 what is nice about this is all 3 of them have the same point of impact @ 200 yrds
now for how well it works.it has been very good with anything here in montana i have used it on from bear, mule deer, elk,and even a big huge almost hard to even kill white tail deer
my friend that had this build has taken it to africe and had great results there also
he has taken warthog,wildebeast, and kudu all with only 1 shot each.
i have also had the results with this little round. mild and light recoil and everything seems to die very fast with just 1 shot
