Well, I picked the "new" rifle up last week.

I went for a 25 inch barrel in the end.

I am pleased to report it shoots factory Norma ammo 156 grain ORYX into a .75 inch group. MV 2880 fps.

Any suggestions for a bullet suitable for Alpine Chamois and mouflon???

Congratulations

Who did the re-barreling and what make of barrel did you choose?

I think any 140 grain bullet of sound construction will work fine

Cheers

How long is your freebore, and what is your twist rate?? European cartridge chambers are often cut with very long freebores, if that is the case you'll stand a better chance of getting close to the rifling with a bullet like the 160 grs NP - the do it all bullet for European game. Mouflon can be surprisingly hard to put down, so you won't be overgunned with a 160 grs. Other than that, as Johan suggested a 140-150 grs bullet of sound construction. A Nosler Accubond or a Hornady Interbond, if you can get them, maybe?
