And, the Bob and CM are both effective on game up to and including elk.

Feel about the same. My only quarter bore is a .240 Wby in an HS Precision rifle with Hunter's Edge stock. It loves 100 gr. NPT's. I tried 105's, no dice. I wish it was 8 twist instead of 10 twist, but half MOA with 100 gr. Partitions is good enough.

I have the mentioned chamberings, except 7.x57, which I had but traded.

Not a bad choice in the mix.

RIght now, I'm working with heavier bullets in the CM, have 143 and 147 ELD's.

Thought a quarter bore was the .257" calibers. grin laugh

Whoops, what was I thinking... blush

Maybe .243 is the "new" quarter bore, after inflation and taxes... shocked

I do have a real quarter bore, a great .257R, LA 700 with Brux SS barrel. It loves gunner's H100V load, 100 gr. TTSX at 3,240 fps. And as he says, that load is a real little buzz saw... grin

Thanks for that correction... laugh

My birthday is this week, older than Ingwe... cry

Senior moment...?? wink
