Those are enviable groups from a most handsome rifle, Fotis.

And I think my 338 Jarrett or the 375 HH are thumpers. I get a case of the shudders when I think you’re shooting groups like that with thumb size bullets.

I’ve got a split box of stubbies along with Partitions , you never know what one might run into.
I got my box of 404s all polished up for this year’s deer season , can’t wait.
Fotis by chance have you taken any game with Hammer bullets

LOL.... I feel you. I have killed antelope with all my Big Bees except the 460. This might be the year.

Do it Fotis!
If I ever draw an antelope tag, I'll be using the 338 RUM, just because...

I believe in bleeding every rifle. The biggest misfit combo ever used by your truly was about a decade and a half ago.
Antelope doe with my 416 BEE. 330 HV (GS custom bullet) at 3100 via Reloder 19. One shot 454 yards.

I shot plenty of Hornady 300JHP and 350FN bullets from my 460Wby. Those big 500s were killing me. LOL
