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...

I emailed right after this and got a response saying that my refund check is processing and I’ll see it in 1 to 2 weeks. They didn’t tell me how much it was for though. So if it shows in two weeks, it’ll be a little over two months turnaround time.

If you heard back yet? I sent my ammo in the beginning of September and I still haven’t got a response.

Shot a few nice bucks with them out of 300 RUM at almost point blank range running under deer my tree stand. They all exited and dropped in the spot. My buddy shot a treed black bear around 00’ with the sane set up. Dropped that bear out of the tree. Hit the ground and needless to say it didn’t...

I love those rifles. I’ve got an original 600 in 243 from 1967. My buddy who is a Smith I swear has every caliber they made except for 35 rem and 223. His brother picked one up just like mine a few years back out in Arizona and a pawnshop for $300. I know we had to do a little work on it, but it...

I’m just curious about my velocities, but since bow hunting season is starting to go prime I don’t plan on going back to the range to run my loads across the chronograph to figure out my drops. Could someone run velocities on two of my loads if they have the quickloads program! If so they’d be...

Got an email from Hornaday saying they sent me a box each back in the 200 and 250 versions. Also, my bullet puller showed up today. Just waiting to hear back from Barnes and Norma now. Norma told me that I would have about $73 on credit with whatever they have in stock online and if I didn’t...

I loaded 40 of them up the other day for the upcoming rifle season. I also pinned tumbled my brass so the inside of the case necks were nice and clean versus my test loads. They seeded way easier so now I’m paranoid but there’s not as much neck tension but I’m sure they’re probably just fine...

The only 200 grain .358…..3595” …I’ve shot deer with are these…. Loaded with 40 grains of varget they chrony at 2100 fps out of 336. They have dropped every deer I’ve shot with them where they stood when shot. I’ve shot a few with 180 grain hot cores. They do good as well but. Sone stagger a...

You must’ve got the right person or at least I must’ve beat some sense into them when they tried to replace my VX11 3-9 I paid $299 for back around 90’ (sent them the receipt) and they tried to replace it with an $199 equivalent. They got it right eventually. The vx3i I had 3 in row that went...

I figured those Speer 220s are tough bullets meant to be driven at max whelen velocities on moose and elk sized game…and bigger. Think I have at least 200 of them. I know they’re impossible to get since they don’t make them anymore and everybody’s after them. I’ve never tried them yet. I ended...

I have to many guns. It would cost a small fortune to put premium optics on every one of them.
