I picked up a pre 64 Winchester model 70 in .224 Clark. Anyone shooting this caliber?

Actually the geniuses behind this cartridge was way ahead of its time. Shooting long heavy for caliber bullets was a pretty novel idea. My how things have changed. I believe it was 6mm Remington Ackley necked down.

Inherited this rifle from my father in law who passed away last month. It was his pride and joy. Longest ground hog kill at 1210 yards. Looking for opinions on action, action alterations and .224 Clark caliber. Magazine follower is pinned in place.

224 Clark is based on the 257 Robert or 7x57.
Way ahead of its time.

Im a 22-6mm guy. Most call it a 224tth (texas trophy hunter). Id think you can use those loads which are easier to find
