Default RE: Winchester Apex Mag, who has one?

I bought the 50cal camo/stainless version for my son a couple of years ago. It shoots very well with both conicals and sabot's. Shockwaves of any weight shoot well with somewhere between 80 and 100 grains of loose powder and some loads shoot well with up to 150gr of pellets and a Shockwave. It also likes the 285gr Barnes Exparder MZ's with loose powder. It does get a bit of crud ring when using 777, even with the Rem Kleanbore primers. We have been using Pyro P as it gives similar velocity to 777 2F without the CR.

The gun is well built and fits well which makes it comfortable to shoot. You have a very good rifle there, good luck with it.
