Re: I confess .... I fell from grace and shot a bolt-action rifle today ....

Im really a back slider. My favorite rifle right now is a stainless steel black synthetic stock bolt action in 250 Savage. It does have adjustable sights tho.

The Hornady Vmax 30gr is also a great shooting light bullet. Ive never shot the R-P rounds.

Paco's loads are above Ruger loads. I shot a few in a Puma 16" 45 Colt that weighed 5lbs. Steel butt plate was not enjoyable. Put a recoil pad on and were ok to shoot about 30 or so rounds off the bench. If you have the black plastic checkered grip they will feel a cheese grater after a few.
