I use mine primarily as a short range big game hunting rifle. With light lead bullet loads it is a joy to shoot on the range!
As ammunition goes, there are two schools of thought.
1) Push light bullets to HI-Speed attain energy efficient killing power. (Weatherby, Lazzeroni cartridges)
2) A large diameter, heavy for caliber bullet makes real power. ( 45-70,90,110,120, 50-100,120, 505 Gibbs, 470 Nitro, 500 S&W)
I subscribe to the second theory. Give me a large diameter, heavy bullet with a large meplat at a respectable velocity. EVERY TIME!!
