Much nicer to shoot for fun.The Kimber would shoot fine, but the barrel jump off the bench made you work at it and even with the Nightforce it is going to jump. Never had a .358. Shot two Deer with the Fed with no surprises. On one it when in the chest and came out the ham with a Barnes.


Wondering if stock design has a role with the Montana? Mine is built (Thanks Mickey Coleman) on a 700SA in a McMillan stock and is very soft shooting. Could be the heavier bullet, stouter load too, I guess.

To anger a conservative, lie to him. To annoy a liberal, tell him the truth.
