Yeah, I’ve read “opinions” too. I was just hoping that someone has used them at faster velocities on Whitetail deer and can share their experience, but I appreciate the link above. I read it a long time ago too. I’ve also read opinions that they stick together enough even at fast 35 Whelen...

Has anybody ever measured the diameter of the seconds? I had some that were undersize not too long ago, but they were a different manufacturer’s seconds. I do have some Nosler seconds but haven’t loaded any.

Love the Scirrocco’s

Just had a chance to open both replacement boxes of Hornady projectiles. I measured 2 frome each box of 250's and 200's. Happy to report all four measured .358". I won't end up doing any laddrr tests with them any time soon. Ill just put them back into my inventory for time being. I also...

Yeah I decided to pass on the 270 brass that was going to be given to me figured it's going to be too big of a stretch in the necks are going to be too thin by the time I get done even if they don't crack. I'm pretty sure I have some 30 out 6 military casings laying around in my stash that don't...

I don't even know what would possess somebody to shoot a moose with a 22 caliber rifle other than a poacher practicing their craft.

I watched Jim’s video. I’m sure he got paid quite well for that advertisement. I’ll stick with my 300 RUM. I just watched some outdoor life writer shoot a moose with a 22 ARC. Three shots of it stood there for about a half a minute and then fell over. So apparently you can shoot them with 22...

I’d rather start with 06’ brass. Maybe if somebody here has a 270 win and need some brass and has 35 Whelen brass we can do some horse trading?

Looks like the book data above doesn’t push them very hard anyways in anything with 200 grains versus the Hornady super performance ammo at 2950 fps. At that velocity, I’m really not gaining anything anyways versus the 2500 ft./s 180 grain hot core I’m currently shooting. IMO I am better off to...

I just acquired about 116 pieces of ones fired PMC brass in 270 Winchester. I don’t own a 270. I do own a couple of 30-06 and a 35 Whelen. My plan was to neck them up to 35 Whelen. I think I did this years ago with about eight or nine pieces of 270 brass and some 280 brass I found at the range...

That looks like it’s probably a newer addition than my horn day book…Thsnks! I just need to get my hands on some of those to try now.

I like the idea of the “ballistic tip looking” projectile. I know they’re not recommended for anything faster than 35 Remington velocities but I’m curious at how they would do going faster out of a 35 Whelen on a Whitetail deer? Anybody ever tried them and if so, how did they do?

My dream was just to put mine in an HS precision stock, but they were long gone discontinued when I got mine.

Yup, before I bought a comparator made by Hornady I would run into the same issues you’re having and it would drive me nuts. Never had a consistent measurement with any of my projectiles after I seated the first and measured it. Using the comparator a measuring to the ojive will at least get you...

I’ve never shot them on Elk or moose and I would assume that’s where a premium bullet would do better with a less than perfect shot or at an extreme angle. I just never shoot deer unless they’re broadside or quartering away from me. I’ve gotten some pretty extreme angles and always an exit...

Yep, I wouldn’t be afraid to use it on bigger game even though I haven’t. People always say to stay away from it from it on ELK and Moose. I can think of a lot better options like a scirocco, partition, or a core loct I wouldn’t feel handicap or under gun or nervous about using a ballistic tip...

I forgot they redesigned it myself. I saw some boxes a few months ago and didn’t realize they had a generation ballistic tip because I almost traded for some until I realized they were a different construction and not as stout. I probably have three or four boxes of the old style screw...

Just got an email from Barnes. They said my .358” TSSX tipped were undersized according to their micrometers at .3575”…BUT…within their acceptable diameter tolerance “range”. I asked them what their “acceptable diameter” range was and they wouldn’t share it with me. I didn’t expect any less...

Imo they don’t make their brass for reloading. It’s a once and done cheap case.

My 2 boxes of replacement Hornady .358’s just showed. A box each of 200 and 250 grainers. I’ll have to open up both of them and measure and see if they’re bigger and diameter when I get a chance…fingers crossed. Haven’t heard back from Norma or Barnes yet. My replacement Lyman bullet puller...
