Hello all. Been a while since my last post, but Ive finished my first season of deer hunting here with the 450 I built up on a 98 action and rhineland barrel. If I can figure out how to post pictures I will put some up.
Anyhow, Im pretty happy with how it performed on game. My paper accuracy running the 250 ftx with 37.5 gr of little gun, seated just off the lands runs a pretty consistent 2" at 100 yards. Muzzle velocity with that load averages @2,330 with no pressure signs. Performance on game is pretty impressive, but the bullet seems kinda fragile. Not sure how it would hold up at higher velocities. So, though id like to do a little more load work, Ive got a load now thatsok in my book.
Guess id like to hear others experience with the rhineland barrel on their bolt gun, if you're willing to share. How about loads you've worked up ?
