8208 is your huckleberry in that regard. It’ll get good speeds, I’m betting it’ll be accurate as well. Next up would be H4895 and Varget. Those three would be my first picks if temp stability was on my brain.

That looks excellent! I’d bet somewhere around 51 for a starter. You’ll have a screamer on your hands.

Good luck to you all this season!

They won’t beat the 225 SGKs in expansion. Probably a better, heavier game bullet, maybe but for deer, the SGK is a beast.

That 225 SGK is THE bullet for me in the Whelen or the 358 for deer. It makes big, leaky holes. Nothing stumbles far.

Not really. We’re pretty limited in that regard.

That 220 will work up close and I’d not be worried to stretch it some as well. Should be a hammer. Good luck!

H4350 and anything 165. No need to hammer on it, I’m better you get a cool, easy shooting 3000 or more out of that load without being at complete max.

I’m betting it’s more like a 358 Norma myself. Be cool to see what he comes back with. Could be a fire breather like a 358 STA…

Great topic. I started shooting further with the Leupold 6x42 with LR Dots which is the same spacing interval as a B&C. Worked fine out to 500 and 600 yards. I started using the 6x MQ SWFA and 3x9, both being able to dial or hold on the reticle. The B&C or dotz worked fine but I hated the...

Springfield Armory is one that seems real good, as is the Seekins and Proof. I’d probably look more at what stock appealed to me than the particular maker since they all make nice rifles.

I’d be interested myself. I might be a qualified 358 loonie for no good reason.

I did it once shooting the 270 and 7 WSM side by side one day years ago. Couldn’t figure out why the 7 didn’t shoot for beans. Well when I got to the bench I realized I sent 3 270 WSMs down the 7 tube :LOL:

You’re safe there. You would have crushed the bejesus out of the case trying to get that one in there.

Congrats on the deer BC88!
