I bet so, trouble is, it's so fun to shoot, I may have to load another 50 before this fall's hunting season, it's built on a 98 Mauser action sitting in a syn stock with all metal cerakoted, it's an all weather/all game rifle.


In a bolt gun I'd be tempted by the 300 Barnes original spitzer. It will let you hang on to some speed at distance. (b.c. 0.291)

Started at 2400fps, you'd have 3837ft pounds at the muzzle
Sighted in at 175 yards you would be 2.2 inches high at 100 and at 200 yards you would be 1.8" low and still have 1857 ft/sec and 2297 ft pounds. I used this bullet in a 458 magnum for several years and really liked it. It's making me think about a BLR in 450 Marlin.
