Default Esr .451

A 460 or 495 gr chunk of lead from this should knock a deer down .
It's a .451 with a 1:18 twist .

That's purdy. Looks like it would be a lot of fun to shoot. Is that what you're hunting with this year?

Very very nice rifle!! I have the M97 but I was told it has a 1-20 twist. I don't know if that is true. But mine likes the big lead also. But your rifle is beautiful!!

Doc makes the .451 ESR with both twists. The 1:20 has a Kelly barrel and the 1:18 had a Douglas barrel . The m97 is a 1:20 In a .451
