Hi Ric,

Thanks for the article - it all falls into place now. With a truly wonderful landscape like that, I can see that approaching to anything less than half a mile will mean a lot of leopard crawling! This also explains why custom rifles are built to undertake such tasks. My Sako will "only" hold sub-2" up to 300m, not 500. I might as well sell that POS now and commission a new rifle from your buddy! However, I think that your rifle would look a lot nicer with my Swarovski 6-24x50 on top. Who knows, with that combo, may be I could even hit rocks at 1K?

Serious question though. Are you actually permitted to use match bullets on game in the US? Over here, we would be crucified for that, as the 1991 Deer Act prohibits all non-expanding projectiles. In which case, how do they perform?

Thanks and regards,

Jacobite
