I have used it in my 300 RUM so far. Pretty similar to Retumbo from what I’ve seen. I haven’t had the chance to try it in much else but I have 8lbs of the stuff.

Nice shooting Fotis! Looks like that 88 did the deed! What did you think of the bullet?

For sure Mike. I wouldn’t think twice. I use the 180 TTSX in my 600 350 REM. Even with the short barrel I get 2850 and accuracy is excellent.

RL15 will achieve 2600 with a 24” barrel pretty easily in a Whelen so I’ll take a stab it will do at least that well in a similar 350 if you’re not constrained to 2.8 in the mag. That was written before Leverevolution, cfe223, pp2000 and a few others were released so you have some more options...

I’m with the others. Try shortening up your load .010 or maybe a skosh more and you’ll have all the groups looking good.

They do seems pretty nice.

I know a few of them made me feel like I was JUST there and then they’d whoop me. I sorta figured out some of them just liked faster twist than the norm. The 175 works excellent and was easy in my Mashburn. The 150’s stunk in my 6.5 PRC but the 142 and 129’s shot well. The 150 has been hit or...

That’s just such a solid hunting rifle. I’ll never admit it to anyone out loud but that is a very versatile rifle for really everything.

That Ruger African 35 Whelen is one real nice feeling rifle. I’d be okay having one kicking around the house.

I swear I’ll do it this year! 😀

Wow! Congrats on the deer and cool you made the bullet as well. Great hunt!

Man I hope you get that sucker out WV! That’s way cool!

It’s funny, I used to be scared of plain old black powder. Once I got my 50/90 I realized how crazy I was. You can use a spit patch to clean the bore. I use Windex with Vinegar for deer cleans and some extra virgin olive oil to protect the bore. Wipe it down here and there, keep the bore...

Agreed. Someone gets too big for their britches they get handed a box of ABLRS or Swift Sciroccos. Those have made me feel like I should be buying factory ammo at times. :LOL:

I tried them early on thinking the same thing but if I remember right you had to seat the bullet below the ogive to function through a BLR magazine. They shot excellent in my bolt guns though. My brother has been killing deer with his 358 and 200 AB for a few years now and loves it.
