The actions were great....their ballistics pretty dismal as compared to a '06 270 etc. Generally around 200'/sec slower than a same bullet weight '06. Not aweful, however, they were never that popular in the States cause the '06 was clearly a better caliber. I would say this is a fine 200 yard anything rifle , however, at 250 it drops like a rock. A 180 gr bullet at 2450'/sec zeroed at 150 yards is 1.2 inches high at 100, -3 inches at 200 and -15.4 inches at 300. Regards, Rick.
