Gee's that is a nice looking rifle to say the least. They say that more doubles are being built now than at anytime before the Great War. That would be World War I. And for about half of what a VW Jetta would cost. The rifle will last a whole lot longer than the car, I know about the car, my last Jetta gave up after 19.7 years of driving. My 6.5 x 55 Sako I bought the same year, just getting broken in. What load did they regulate the barrels with?

Very nice rifle my friend! You need to bring it out for another bison!

Agreed that this is a very nice rifle. That being said, there are much better rifles for bison, and jorge already has one. It is a 45-110 Sharps 1874.

My 6.5 x 55 Sako I bought the same year, just getting broken in. What load did they regulate the barrels with? Hornady factory DGX/S ammo. But I can duplicate with reloads as well as with Woodleighs. I'll have a shooting report this weekend.

That will very likely be an eye opener. I seriously doubt that the 405 will put the bison down as quick as the 45-110 Sharps.

300gr TSX  2250 fps will do the trick.
