If you really want to make the 35 Whelen sing, give it a Weatherby free bore and lengthen the magazine so you can seat the bullets longer. My 35 Whelen Ackley Imp is based on a M70 controlled round push feed action with a 25"-barrel 1-12 twist and a 375 H&H magazine box.

Buy a cheap used 30-06 and send it to J.E.S. reboring in Idaho. Get his 4 lands and groove cut with a deeper than factory throat chamber so you can play with OAL when reloading and you won't regret it. If you think you need more power have him cut the chamber for a 35 Ackley Improved 40 degree...

Thanks Dr Mike.

Don I'm so sorry to hear this and can't find the words to express my sorrow for you and your family. I can only pray that he can find some quality in his remaining time here on earth.

You guys all know I went to Costco's to get a hearing test and a pair of hearing aids, I may have even told you there was or could be an underlying problem with the left ear. The audiologist that did the test thought there might be a problem and referred me to an ENT of my choice. Made the...

I would love to have one, but I really can't see spending that much for any of them I don't use them every day or week or month only on occasions that I need to check my pistol loads or rifle loads. Heck I'm still using the Chrony you sold me years ago.

Nice shooting, wondering what it will do at 25yds and 50yds? Always looking for accurate loads in a 1911 .45acp.

Beautiful wood Fotis and it sounds like it will shoot with some tuning of the loads. I remember you wanting to buy my Zeiss Conquest but don't remember selling it to you, OK I found it in the safe.;)

More prayers coming Don and will continue to see him thru these trying times.

Don, my prayers are with your son in-law, I've lost two of my sisters to cancer and a son in-law so I know what you are going thru and will pray for you and Catherine also.

Thanks for the replies, I posted this to provide more information to those of us who suffer from hearing loss.

I've worn hearing aids for quite a while and one of them died on me so I've been looking around for replacements since I can't afford to replace the ones that died and I have found there were better options then ones sold by an E.N.T. ( 6K to 8K ). One of my pistol shooting friends mention he...

I've done numerous times with no ill side effects. Just make sure your hands are dry and clean when handling the primers and take it easy decaping the case.

That's what it looks like.

After load a few hundred thousand rounds I have found that it can be lots of things to cause a miss fire. Remington ran through a bad time with .22lr because the priming material wouldn't stick to the inside of the rim of the case. I have looked at light hits by firing pins and found 3 causes...
