[QUOTE="41mag, post: 1240818, member: 3804"] While I have something in calibers ranging from .223 through .312, I certainly understand the draw to the .277's. While he wasn't able to gain a lot of time with it, I think that the times he did drop the hammer on it I think my pop knew that the one he got as a retirement gift was something a bit faster and flatter than his pride O3A3. Since his passing however, that rifle has accounted for several trophies taken by myself, my daughter, and oldest grandson. It has shot great groups with just about any combination of load components we have assembled from mild to wild. The all around favorite however has been used almost since we got it. My mom was still hunting at the time and having had neck issues, she needed something with a mild recoil. Weighing in at only 7lbs with scope mounted, I tried out some IMR-3031 with the 130gr. Nosler Solid Base. The load slips out at at 2800'ish FPS. She used it to take her last buck with, then she decided it was all just better for the younger crowd. The daughter picked it up at around 9 and laid waste to numerous hogs and several nice deer. Now though, the oldest of three grandsons has taken a real shine to it. He has stretched it out on several occasions to around 300yds on several big hogs and is hoping to bag a nice buck we have watched mature for the past 6 yrs. He laid off it twice last year, but I doubt seriously he will give it a pass this year. Enjoy them in whatever configuration you have them in. From the 6.8's up to the Allen Mag's they do have a huge following. [/QUOTE]
