I picked up one of these a little while back and put it in the safe. Decided to get it out and shoot it and the first thing I noticed was how uncomfortable the 18hole “radial brake” was. Replaced it with a standard birdcage and mounted a Trigicon Huron 1-4 on top in a leupold mount. I worked up a few loads with IMR 4320 and a 63g Sierra SMP. I have 7# of 4320 on hand and nothing to use it in so figured I’d try to find a load with it first. It didn’t take long and the rifle printed several of these.
No real use for the rifle. Might shoot a deer with it, might take it coyote calling, might need it for god knows what before it’s over. I think the 63g Sierra should make a good all around bullet, and the accuracy isn’t horrible either.
