The heaviest load I shoot which is the 250g bullet is the lightest the 333 Jefferey shoots. According to the nosler reloading manual the best a 338-06 can do with a 250g bullet is about 2400FPS - the 333 beats it by 100fps, Impressive considering the age of the round.

Thats what I did - picked up a JC Higgins model 50 ( FN Supreme action mauser ) and rebarreled it to 7X57 mauser. Put a set of remington sights on it and I am happy with the outcome.

I don't normally shoot past three hundred yards. I find magnum provide the added horsepower when needed. Not all magnums are for long range. IMHO

Makes a lot of sense. When all you have is a hammer everything else is a nail. If a 180 gr pill in a 30-06 isn't enough I will use a bigger or faster 30 cal magnum. The biggest thing have here in Oregon are elk. My 338-06 pushing 225g noslers or mu 300H&H pushing 180g noslers do just fine.

Why not go to a bigger cartridge if you need more energy.

No the heaviest I have used is a 200g partition and went back to 180s.if I need larger I will go to a 338

Moving a button is not hard ensuring that it does everything it did before the button was moved is the crux of the issue.

What I don't get is the need to go outside normal bullet weights with a cartridge. The 30-06 is best in my opinion with. 150 to 180g bullets. They make bullets above and below this range. Instead of making a cartridge something it isn't use a larger or smaller cartridge. I have always believed...

Trying to understand ballisticly how it is superior to other modern 7/8 magnum cartridges? You like it it works for you and old guns are cool these points we agree on. Superior ballistics, nope.

So what kind of speeds are you getting with your 147g bullet with your 280NE and what pressures are you running at?

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the 280 Ross the samething as a 280NE? My understanding is that the 7mm Remington will out perform that cartridge. Given the 280 NE was ahead of its time.

If given a second chance knowing what I know now. I would have worked as an electrician. I was an electricians mate during my time in service. At that time I worked on everthing up to 440v circuits. Trying to find a good electrician now is difficult. I am within seven years of retiring now so...

256 niender (sp?) would be s good one . I know the 6.5-06 exists but it's a wildcat. To me it is superior to the 270win and the 25-06

I would bet that long after I am dead and forgotten the 30-06 will still be going strong. Guess that would be hard to collect on.

When I was in high-school back in the late 70s there were two tracks - one was college the other was trades. My junior senior year I signed up to go in the Navy so my final year in high-school I took many gedunk courses that were for the trades kids. I aced those courses in high-school...

Bring back .411 bullets tougher than what is used for the 405 winchester. I am using the barnes lrx bullet but they are not rated for the velocity I am shooting them. So maybe the 404 B&J express which will never happen.

I had a mint model 30 express chambered in 30-06 with the crescent button plate. That butt plate sure made that recoil sharp and I sold it to a collector. I thought it better to sell that rifle instead of messing the rifle up. Built a fn mauser in 264WM with the proceeds.

Served on the USS Seawolf with a John Wayne Thomas. Probably a different guy.

Disregard.

To me moving down from the 35whelen would be my 8mm mauser with 198g hornadys.

I grew up watching the Duke I guess he is the closest I have came to having a role model. I remember when he passed. Even as a young teenager I knew it was the end of an era. As far as his choice of a 300 weatherby. I am not a fan. I have four 300 magnums. In order of like comes my 300 H&H...

I have a 35 whelen and a 358 norma magnum. Not sure what a 358 winchester would get me. If the 35 whelen is too much odds are I moving down to a 30-06 or a 308. Just don't see the purpose In my collecttion.

What cartridge is it chambered for?

You have pros and cons to both. Two big advantages of the enfield action it is large enough for the round and the enfield action is stringer. Many cartridges that the enfield action has been chambered in I would not attempt in the springfield I have them both and hold both in high regard.

I think a 1917 or a 1914 would be better than the 1903 for a 375H&H length cartridge and they aren't that exspensive. I do realize we are talking about a 1903.

It is true that us boomers are dieing off I can only.hope the next generation does better even though there is no evidence of such. Good luck. I don't live or vote in Colorado could care less.

Let's see how mid terms go.

Excellent information. I think there are simpler conversions and better actions for a 375H&H. I love the 1903 action and have two. A 6.5x55 and a 257 roberts.i had one in 30-338wm and many in 30-06. I just wish I could get synthetic stocks for them.

In the US we have the right to peaceful protest still don't we?

Looks like a peaceful protest to me

I guess with enough money it's all possible but I would think converting a 1903 into a 375H&H doesn't make sense to me. A 375 whelen would work nicely...I think the 1903 / a3 is no longer being supported. They seem to be going out style which is sad to me.

Your right it is interesting. Since they are sighting sources what makes them wrong?

That is coming from the group doing the cutting. It has already been proven wrong multiple times. Give a source without bias.

As I understand it the perrov version of the 400 whelen comes close to being the equal of a 450/400 Nitro express in a bolt gun. Just trying to understand why that is usefu in NA. Want is one thing usefulness is another.

I think taking a sledge hammer to set a tack is foolish I' believe is the approach our current administration is taking right now. My wife and I are democrats and feel that what Trump is trying to do is worthy We just wish he would do it with surgical precision instead of the chainsaw...

Here in the states I see limited use for 40 cal magnums. I have thought about the 45-70 but don't much care for the rainbow trajectory. I find the 9.3s and 375s about the largest I could imagine using in North America

I have thought of doing this with my BSA model D 1917 enfield sporter. I am a bit worried about the shoulder on the 400 whelen hence I would probably go with the 375 whelen. It would be my third 375 cal rifle so I have been dragging my feet. I really don't see the advantage over the 9.3x62 which...

When I bought my farm about ten years ago I bought a couple of Husqvarnas. A 440xe and 460 Rancher. I dont know if they are good saws but I have no complaints. I use the heck out of the 440 not so much the 460. Before that I used to run an old remington that was a decent saw for my purposes.

The only time I question how many I own is when it comes time to cleaning them.

Prefer whiskey neat. The next best is an old fashioned.

Beautiful rifle. I wish guns could tell stories I would love to hear while drinking a nice scotch and i would just listen. Just curious how does this caliber compare to a 338-06. I know it's way cooler.

I would like to know where I can find 310s on the shelf? Never seen them yet.

I have a border collie by the name of Mike. He is ball crazy and let's me know when he is ready to play. So everyday we play ball one or more times a day. So when we go out I smoke a Swishers Swet perfecto.. I know not a great cigar but it works. The weather condition has little impact on when...

I built my first whelen back in 1998 on a mauser. I do not consider the whelen the equivalent to the 9.3s. Most whelens are not shooting 300 plus slugs. Most are shooting 225 or 250 slugs which they stabalize well. I love the whelen but I do not consider it equivalent to a 9.3x62 any more than...

Not even the 358 norma passes that test. I have both and know that the norma surpasses the 35 whelen easily.

It's likely to be used only at the range. I agree it is nice rifle and deserves to be treated well. I don't plan to do or change a thing on it. It shoots a .411 bullet which is hard to find..I havie been using barnes ttsx bullets but those are for a 405 wincjester which shoots a little slower...

I don't know but the barrel is marked Barnes and Johnston. I don't know who made it but it feeds the cartridges really really well and seems to be quite accurate. The action is marked 1951.

Here is my rifle

My left eye is 20-20 my right eye is degraded. With glasses I can see fairly well. I cannot read well with my right eye. I often find times I have my right eye closed not even being aware of it. Wifes is good at reminding me of this. I spent alot of time trying to correct this. Back to guns...

I have mixed tastes I drink a fair amount of Buffalo Trace and occasionally Jim Beam double aged and water. I am also a fan of Glenfadich. I am not a fan of peat and smoke.
