It's going to a light weight rifle. Which is good until you shoot a full house gunner500 type load. One of those could loosen one's fillings.... blush

But, don't have to push it to the max for it to be a killer.

So many options with pistol bullets, etc.

I ordered 180 TTSX today, not that you need premium bullets in a med bore rifle. But those in other calibers have been very accurate, may be in this one, too.

I have 180 Flat nose Speers (.35 Rem bullets), 200 Horn SP's and 225 SGK's on the way. Have an assortment ot pistol bullets from 140-158 gr. cowboy action to serious 10mm/.357 170 Gold Dot and 180 XTP's. Some claim those two are good on deer. Nathan Foster in NZ says the 170 GD holds together better than the 180 XTP at ..358 Win velocities in WT type game. Here's the link:

Enough to keep an old Loony entertained for a while.
