Great feedback, there is hope for the world after all .

Now a word about accuracy with a hunting rifle.

I no longer hunt and back when I did my main hunting rifle was a Krag sporter with a Lyman Alaskan scope and a receiver sight. I bought the rifle with five boxes of Remington 220's and never loaded for it. It would keep every thing in 1 1/2"-2" at 100 yards. I can't remember anything but one Caribou that I needed more than one shot for. Most shooting at game where I hunted was no more than 150 yards.

I don't have it to hand but I remember Whelen shot at paper plates. But I don't remember the size or distance.

How well do they have to shot for you?

Speaking of Whelen I remember he had a small-game load for the 06 which was 150 fmj bullet with 18 grains of 4759. I just happen to have a case of 4759 and some 150 fmj so it might be fun to try some of these.
