Any thoughts on this cartidge? I hate shooting and try to stay away from the range as much as possible..Ammo is a bitch for it..but none the less..its in my arsenal...thinking about putting some decent glass on it and letting a boy rape Ca with it this coming season..any gun geeks have any personal intel with this Caliber?
 
Essentially it is a 30-338. Based on the 338 Win Mag case. It is an amazing cartridge that has equivalent ballistics to a 300 Win Mag but more efficient on powder. I shot one for years. There is load data for it in the Sierra manual. Get after it!

Wonder if it would hit any mountain kitties??? Just asking for a friend.....
The very thought of this makes me nauseous...im appalled ..cant every one just leave the mountain lions alone? They were here first and are just doing what they need to do to survive...uggh. .Ca has a law to protect them forever.
 
The 174g hammer hunter would be a good bullet choice for CA. I don’t imagine it has a ton of Mag space being an older rifle these should fit. I wouldn’t want to be shot with this combo.

see if you can figure out what twist it is. That will determine what dumb calif bullet you have to use. might be a slow twister so no big calif copper bullets
