Stavross 15,421 Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 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? Quote Link to post
.357shooter 1,191 Posted June 30 Author Report Share Posted June 30 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. 1 Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,421 Posted July 1 Report Share Posted July 1 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 Quote Link to post
.357shooter 1,191 Posted July 7 Author Report Share Posted July 7 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. Quote Link to post
Stavross 15,421 Posted July 7 Report Share Posted July 7 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 Quote Link to post
.357shooter 1,191 Posted July 8 Author Report Share Posted July 8 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. 1 Quote Link to post
