Mike, I'm pretty sure the rifle in the article became Berit's.


Brad,

You are correct about that. Finn developed a load for that rifle for Berit to use on the small whitetails that lived in that part of Texas. The load was quite mild, using a 139 gr Hornady spire point at about 2500 fps. Very well mannered load, and quite accurate to boot. Pretty much perfect for its purpose.

I'm in complete agreement as it is exactly the type of load I use in my 7x57 for home deer because it works.
