While there are some good points there, I'm afraid it may be a case of damning with faint praise!

The ballistics are sadly ancient and outdated. At 2550 fps from a 286 NP with its high BC of .482, not only should moose-size game at 500 yards take cover, but once 9.3 X 62 aficionados learn the true potential of their modern bolt-action repeater using modern powders and bullets, Maco Polo Sheep are hardly safe as well!
