PotashRLS Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I posted a thread in the rifle section about my newly purchased Browning A-Bolt II 223 WSSM rifle. I'm wondering if anyone out there has much experience with this cartridge as a Predator thumper? The gun was an impulse purchase and I didn't anticipate buying it to say the least, so I didn't have a choice in calibers. It looks nice in the gun cabinet next to it's twin big brother a Browning A-Bolt II 300 WSM. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Performance on ballistics tables sure looks good on the wssm. Would think it would work fine on varmints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Would think it would be excellent. Similar performance to a .220 Swift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captkb44 Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 I had one several years back and it was very accurate. It however wasn't fur friendly at all. No matter what bullets I tried it blew holes the size of your fist. That was several years back and maybe they have come out with a better bullet.
