For several years now, we have had state regs that allow single shot cartridge rifles 35 cal or larger to be used in our primitive seasons. Most of the folks wanting flatter trajectory went with 35 Whelens. I like doing things a little different, went with an Encore barrel in 9.3x74r, and later an 1885 in 375.
235 Speer over Reloder 17 for 2900, it flattens them, no surprise right? I don't find the recoil objectionable at all.
It's latest victim from the weekend past:
