Nice rifle. I have the same hunting situation. All of my rifles are sighted for 50 yards due to my farms wooded area. No chance for a shot much farther than that.
It gets cold here. The load I'll be using is one I worked out for my Dan Wesson in California for metallic silhouette. It's 28 gr of 296 behind a 200 gr JHP. I can push it out of the Dan 6 inch magna ported barrel at 1675 fps. I expect more from this rifle since the power should still be burning. I used the lighter bullet because it retained more energy at 100 yards than the 240 gr. Which was needed to drop the Ram. ( a magnum primer of course )
