I borrowed a buddies ultralight MKV in 2002 and killed a South Texas buck at over 300 yards with it shooting 95 gr BTips. As stated above, it was lights out. I was very impressed and spent the next 19 years wanting one but never quite made it happen.
Fast forward to last week and I picked up a Vanguard First Lite in .240 Wby and scrounged the WWW for a few components. I was worried because my rifle does not like Wby factory 100 gr. SP at all. But, it doesn’t mind my 100 gr BTSP loads at all.
Shot this 300 yard group with it yesterday.
Mind your manners when shooting it and the barrel will last plenty long. People are getting 1000 shots out of their 6.5-300 Wby., I don’t know why we can’t with our .240’s…
Be prepared for some heartbreak when it comes to finding components or ammo.
Good luck,
Todd
