Throw in a couple of shots with the panatela size cartridges along side.

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?

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.

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.

First time to the range today and as the targets show, I was very satisfied, range 50yd: Hdy Factory DGX (2152/2161fps)point of aim was at the 6'Oclock of the red bull Hornady Handload (94.5 H4831 2132/21340) Point of aim was a red dot just above that fell off with impact: 480gr Wooleigh handload with same load data. 2113/2122 fps.
