flytie Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Lew Potter has a .280 British which he made up off the plans he got while working at the Royal College at Shrivenham. If you wikipedia it, it sounds to be the business. Being something of an (English) patriot, it appeals to me. Nothing outrageous or death ray-ish about it, just d@mned effective. ft Oops forgot the link, sorry; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.280_British Edited February 11, 2010 by flytie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted March 10, 2010 Report Share Posted March 10, 2010 Well i'm stuck with a 22/250 for the time being, is there any way that this could be modified for heavier caliber heads? would just like something thats a bit more versatile for larger deer.

I was just thinking, as the 22/250 was originally a wildcat, could it be converted back to .250 cal? Purely hypothetical.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely hypothetical.. Yep the 75gr A-MAX are great for a starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
