Ok, I had this smithed by Ray Romain a number of years ago but haven't shot it until recently because I've been working on other projects. It loves the Sierra 225 Gameking and doesn't really like the 225 Nosler Partition. Using Reloder 22 I get 3150fps with no signs of pressure.

98 Mauser (Weatherby Southgate)
Mcswirly Olive, Black and Gray
Barrel is a Douglas 26 inch 1-14 twist
Leupold VX-III 4.5-14x40 with CDS
Weight is just under 9 pounds ready to go, I wouldn't have it any lighter.

I have used the 225 Gameking on a large black bear about 10 years ago and got full penetration so I did a milk jug test today. From about 50 yards away it destroyed four milk jugs and lodged in the 5th. Here is what it looked like

Accuracy has been outstanding here was my first group with it at 100 yards. The gamekings are on the left the nosler partitions are on the right.

So I tried accuracy at 200 yards. The three shots on the bottom are gamekings and three above are partitions.

Can't wait to take it out, look forward to hearing from some other 358 STA fans.
