I my experience, the 250 is just about perfect in the .35 Whelen, .350 Rem Mag and the Sambar. The 225's are nice in the .358 Win and 200's in the .35 Rem. I don't care for the concept of always shooting the heaviest for caliber bullets... it simply makes the cartridge less versatile, while at...

I load 72.0 grains of CFE-223 under a 235 TSX in my .375 WSM. Also, use CFE-223 in quite a few other cartridges... it is pretty versatile.

Personally, I think 250 grains is optimal for the medium .35 cal cartridges.

23" is perfect

Welcome, Bob F. Kate sounds like a little azz-kicker! And those dimples are worth a million! Congrats on some great experiences with a great friend.

Still... that is pretty good shooting for a guy with no eyes, or face even...

What kind of BS talk is that??? No,.solid .35 cal dude would say something that silly.

I've got one of those... great little deer rifle.

People will say no such thing as too many, but that is not true. I have been a gun guy for more than half a century, but my first Win 94 when I was 10 with yardwork and paper route money. Since then I have owned in excess of a thousand guns... over two hundred in house at the same time... I...

No way... In this corporate world and tight economy, there is no point in debating the merits of a cartridge. The Ruger cartridges are excellent, but that doesn't matter, what matters is whether or not (probably not), the companies producing the platforms and components are willing to make long...

I can't believe how many people need a gunsmith or sophisticated mounting tools to mount a scope on a rifle. A screwdriver, hex key and a pair of eyes will get it done in five minutes or less...

I started that bracket with 9.3X57, then 9.3X62, 9.3X64 and 9.3X74R... then started on the .35 Cals... .35 Rem, .356 & .358 Win, .350 Rem Mag, .35 Whelen, .358 Norma, .358-375 Ruger. Now? I have downsized it all, I have one 9.3X64 Brenneke, one .358 Win, one .35 Whelen and one .350 Rem Mag. So...

Some guys like the old and busted up, and I will take them as a cull or for camp meat, but I would not pay top trophy fee dollar for one... that is just me... I feel the same way about scrum caps. I am happy for you if that is what you like... more power to you.

Numero Uno...

Take a look at the Barnes Original 400 FN, they are an excellent bullet on game. I use the Original 400 SP in my .458 WM bolt action Carbine.
