I need your help

If you won't some real fun go the 400 Whelen petrov design.
Equals the 400/450 in an 06 case

Greetings Bob!

OH NO, … not another cool cat cartridge based off the Whelen - but, I will give it a dedicated search & does sound like a ‘real looker & fun’ project!
 
cant tell exactly from the OP's pic.. but based on the one pic and the bullet measurement, I'd guess .35 Whelen...

Here's a factory loaded federal .30-06 next to a re-sized and primed .35 Whelen made from re-sizing a federal 30-06 case (just pulled from my ammo locker)..

Looks pretty similar to the OP pic..

Plenty of cool threads on this forum about the 400 Whelen.

"petrov design"? Anyway, I would go for the .400 Whelen AI in an '06 case. Might get a couple of grains more powder stuffed into it? LOL
 
Back in the '70s, I reloaded paper (actually cardboard) 12ga. shells before I transitioned to AA plastic hulls. You could load the cardboard hulls "hotter" (more powder and shot than the plastic hulls). Every once in a while, the brass base would separate from the cardboard hull upon firing. Not a big deal, but I would have to remove the barrel from my Remington 1100 to get out the hull from the chamber. It seemed to only happen with multiple reloading of the cardboard hulls. I've seen recently where Remington is making the paper hulls again.
Same for an old guy I shot skeet with around that time. He had been a factory shooter in prior years and had "a warehouse full" of paper hulls. Reloaded them just once and left them on the ground, IIRC.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
