first Africa hunt. They are a high dollar gun and are extremely picky about ammo. Hers will only work with Federal Premium ammo. With Federal Premium 300 mag ammo you can literally lift the bolt and work the action with your little finger but anything else and you have to beat the bolt open. Thru the years it seems that Federal is the only company that I know of that has stayed within SAAMI specs on their ammo. When they come up with a new cartridge they are horrible about promoting it and it usually dies on the vine due to no promoting. But their standard ammo, and especially the Federal Premium is some of the best there is.
