I agree, I am impressed with the Buffalo Bore cartriges
was about to buy a box of the 350 (recommended by
the guy at the desk of "bullseye shooters store" Yes
the one of DC sniper fame. I actually forgot to pick
them up as wife wanted to test fire a few 40 and 9 mm
pistols. I ran into a friend here in my town and told
him about these buffalo bores. By chance his neighbor
had a few. to let me try. Truth is.... I fired 3 factory
loads first then tried one of them buffalo bores. I swear
thunder and lightning struck, my 45/70 up to that
had been a joy to shoot, that 350 grain 211 FPS.
really pounded me. I am not a frail person, I bench
press 315 lbs 3-4 times weekly. It rocked me!! I
do have a recoil pad I put on the rifle. I just cannot
see myself shooting more than 3 rounds of those things.
which reduces my practice with the rifle. And I really
like to practice before I hunt. I can't see myself laying
in the prone position fireing that cannon. I am one of
those who really likes to know exactly what the rifle
can and can't do. before I put a bead on an Elks shoulder.
I won't be able to reload this year. the only choice
it appears as I research, is the winchester supreme
300 Nosler rounds. ALthough I have heard that the Rem
405 are a decent round for elk. I have to be able to
enjoy shooting this rifle to get "good with it" good to me
means that I can take out a playing card at 100 yards
with 3 shots consistantly. and out to 150 yards. I hope
this better explains why I have been asking. Right now.. I can consistantly put 2-3 arounds in the card consistantly@ 100 yds.
