I’m in Cleveland and had my last variation turned around in 48 hours, just started on my renewal so we’ll see how that goes, what rifle have you gone for?

[.357shooter 1,181]

have gone for abolt action stainless ruger mk77 in .357 magnum.it is a little lighter but shoots well and is nice and accurate straight out of the box with the same loads that i used in the henry.

That’s a big lump of a rifle, have you got that for the range or will you be waving it at deer or boar 

[.357shooter 1,181]

competition only and .357m is only suitable for upto fox i think it is even though i know it will take down a bear,moose in the usa/canada must be our .357m is different here in the uk.

I didn’t know that, I thought even though it’s quite a slow round, with its weight it would of been suitable for roe deer and boar, if they will grant it for fox I would of thought it’s adequate for muntjac

minimum 1000 foot pounds energy for muntjac and cwd and bigger deer you need 1700 foot pounds.my little rifle gets about 900 foot pounds with factory ammo.
