Always have to keep in mind that there are big 50 shooters and then there are 50-90 shooters.
At Ekalaka this past sept the rifle that won the 1000$ jackpot on the 1/2 mile buffalo was a 50-90,and that was done with a goodly amount more hits than a couple of rather fabled 45-110 shooters in attendance. At a particularly windplaqued long range match at Alliance there were only 2 rifles that ran the 1000 yd target, and one was a 50-90 and the other was a 44-90, both beat out some really fabled 45-110 shooters . Seem to recall Kurt shooting his way into the top dogs at the Quigley a couple years back with his 50-90....
I'm pretty sure 303 will get this rifle to shooting plenty well enough for his intended purpose. grin


the most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.
