    35 Whelen or 9.3x62 and why?

    They do the same thing. Biggest difference is Whelen brass can be formed by simply running.30-06 brass through a .35 Whelen sizing die. The 9.3 brass can be formed from ‘06 brass by several sizing steps and fire forming. Just too much work. A guy could always just purchase properly head...

    Must have powders

    I survive on H335, IMR4064, CFE223, and W760. I much prefer ball powders because of how well they meter. IMR4064 is just so versatile that II put up with it’s crappy Lincoln log kernels.

    260 Remington Brass

    Good to know. Thanks for the positive reports. Can’t be too careful these days. It’s sad we have been conditioned to doubt most everything. Hard to find brass and bullets is right up my alley. I will check them out. Thanks

    I’m pretty sure they are a scam site. Maybe you have successfully ordered from them before? If so please correct me.

    30-06 Reload Max Length

    Long range shooting out past 500 yards….it matters. For hunting or typical range target shooting, you might have a 1/2” to 1” elevation difference with most common cartridges out at 400 yards because of the 100-150 fps loss/gain due to “temperature sensitivity “. If you are a competitive shooter...

    35 Whelen new loads

    Go for it. You won’t be sorry. Only negative is CFE 223 has a weird smell when fired. I burn so much H335 on the lighter bullets, I guess it will take a while to get used to.

    35 Whelen new loads

    I have experience with CFE 223. I run a 250 gr Speer right at 2600 fps from my 24” barrel. The load is 62.5 grs, Rem 9 1/2 Magnum primer, seated at the standard 3.340 OAL. I do put a light crimp with a Lee FCD. I have only been using this load this year, but it has been a consistent MOA...

    Group testing my Remington 7600 carbine in 35 Whelen with 180 grain hot cores

    I have been using the 180 gr hot cores in my 35 Whelens for the last 6 years. I run them at 2900 fps in my 24” and 2800 in my 22” barrel I have shot 11 deer so far with them with great performance. Closest shot was 40 yards when I shoulder punched a large whitetail doe. Caliber size entry and...

    Midways C.S.

    I wonder if young Ben thought “bullets” meant loaded ammunition. Seems like training programs need a revamp.
