Mag. or one of my 375 H&H rifles. >maybe reread what i posted and try and be more positive bobby.


Not really a wildcat. It was legitimized by A-Square, SAAMI standardized it, WBY chambered a rifle in it, and you can get factory ammo for it. The only downside is as far as I know there are no production rifles currently made for it.

Probably a better round for a Loony who reloads.

That’s me and a host of Fire contributors.

Would not be my recommendation for a casual shooter who buys ammo at a big box store.
