45/70 for Varmints.... :shock:

Or a 405gn RNFP Beval Base with again 2207 (as its on hand, though also have 2208). https://blackwidowprojectiles.com.au...

An intetesting article.

BAT, Kelbly, Surgeon, Stiller all get a mention.

Re: Lost interest

Dust "could" be an issue - but ... plenty of very high end actions being built into PRS rifles.

Re: Think before do

Or...
Ruger Precision Rimfire.

Fenring / Foxfire has been making good use of one from memory.
As a chassis rifle it will also be a familiar shape and form as the one you already have.
