Looks good. How does the #4 action hold up to higher intensity chamberings?

the 240 H&H or flanged nitro is on par with 303 brit pressures .Just basically an old fashioned rimed 243/6mm at lower pressure.This is no where as fast as a modern 243 win ,just looks neat . The fellow who is making this is been at this hobby for many years .

Ah yes, brain fart on my part. I was thinking of the .244 H&H
