Beautiful rifle, interesting work! I like it when guys go their own way to try new things. It shows self-knowledge and independent thinking. I'm sure the recoil is well outside my comfort zone, at least for load development, but it looks to be an exceptionally handy rig for a serious hunter after big animals in unforgiving country. I particularly like the accuracy results that you've gotten so far. Slick rig!
Like others, I like the cartridge, and it has a lot going for it, whether you prefer heavies at long range or mediums at moderate range. Were I to do it, and I may one day very soon, I'd go heavier all the way around!
A message for Big Stick: 29.92" at 5000ft? Which planet is that?
