Great cartridge. I have a buddy that has one in a Ruger #1 and a couple of SxS rifles.

Shoots real nice.

Very popular round in Europe for driven game hunts where they want to stop running game very quickly. Similar to the .35 Whelen, it is a very good big critter getter. The rim is an advantage in single shot and double rifles, ejection of spent cases is more positive.

That tends to happen when you shoot a small cannon!!

I have a Valmet 412 over/under with 9.3x74R barrels. I shoot 286 grain Nosler Partition and 270 grain Speer Hot Core projectiles. They both work well on any game. Hornady also has introduced loaded ammunition featuring a 286 grain Interlock which is available for reloading. I'm looking forward to trying these shortly.

Let me tell you, handling a cartridge with a loaded length of 3.665" is very impressive. When you load up that rifle with those long cartridges you feel like you are ready for anything. It is a fun hunting round.
