My old microgroove one will shoot 5 hardcast 300 gr in front of a max load of H110 into 1.5" @100 with a Leupold 1-4.
The Barnes bullet is also a good choice although the hard cast will out penetrate it.
I'd replace the 3-9 with a 1-4 especially for somthing that can bite (Hogs)
IMO it's a 200 yard rifle. (It would no doubt kill at 500 but the trajectory would be a rainbow)

Judging by the current prices for used ones, prople are catching on to what a great rifle/cartridge this is.
