Yep, and shooting off a benchrest can make quite a difference to shooting from the shoulder, let alone the barrel harmonics of having a 12g barrel soldered underneath the rifle barrel! :p
The ammo is SBP 139 gn soft point doing about 2600 fps.
I bought a batch of this Czechoslovakian made ammo not long after I bought the gun as 7x57 rimmed ammo or brass is not that easy to find...

For the .222, I got the 225-55GC and 225-42GC CBE (Cast...
