    Did well in Pistol Competition today

    10 shot string, so you'll need a second one for the fast reload. ;)

    Color me confused. I read this on the 2nd and bit hard. Glad I'm not a fish.:LOL:

    .35 Whelen acquired, now optimizing.

    A few years back, I emailed Sierra about their bullets in 35 Whelen. Below is their reply. Please forgive the consecutive posts, but this forum has a 10,000 character limit. I found that out trying to post this: 1 of 2 ----- Let's begin with our #2310 180gr SPT. It was built for a muzzle...

    .35 Whelen acquired, now optimizing.

    I love me some RE-15 for my Whelen. And my 308s. And... I've also used 748, I believe, but I find that RE-15 is more efficient. That is to say I think you find that RE-15 gives you a certain velocity with fewer grains of powder than 748. Don't knock the Sierra's, either. I think I may...

    Made my contribution..... 2026 Maybe not...!!!

    Best part is, when you do judge them, you'll be a mile away. And have their boots. :cool:

    Anyone ever heard of a .358 Win Mag?

    That's one of the ideas I had for repurposing a 300WM I've got laying around. From what I read, it would be more than I would ever need for any kind of hunting. Ever. There's also a wildcat from the 300WSM necked up (suppose you could use 325 WSM, for that matter).

    Once upon a time. But, it's been many years since I made chips.

    What powders should I look to first?

    I wanted to reiterate this. You have to trip your brass to much shorter than normal with the FTX. As a consequence, you can only use that brass for the FTX - though, I suppose you could do 44 Special level loads in the brass using other bullets - I have used W296 in 44 Magnum as well as 357...

    Lever action rifles

    There is nothing wrong with the 308, or a lever gun, so I would be checking for things like clean bore, throat erosion, trigger and firing pin function - and price. Yes, there are a lot of excellent lever rifles for camping and hiking; I have Rossi and Marlin 357s and 44 mags which I happen to...

    Heron with Fresh Fish for Breakfast

    Yep. I've had day like that. Usually, I'm the fish ;) Seriously amazing photography, as I think I've said in the past. Really well done.

    308 Load Data

    For 150s I use Reloader 15, typically, but I've also used 748; that's across a few different rifles. I've not loaded 165s in 308 (odd, I know) but I don't see why it wouldn't work as it does for 180s. I suppose it all boils down to what your priorities are for the load, since you might find a...

    CO hunter Ed requirements for non-residents

    My understanding is that hunter ed from any state is acceptable. It took mine from many, many moons ago and my brother's from a different state. As a side note, I found their Parks and Wildlife people very helpful and accommodating. I strongly suggest calling them before your hunt to clarify...

    CVA Cascade XT 35 Whelen

    I had been fantasizing about one of the new Ruger Alaska Bush rifles in 35 Whelen, but now that these are on the market, I have to wonder a bit.

    .358 Bullets Vs. Bruins

    As was said, almost any of the above will do just fine. One thing to consider is the 200gr RN might be designed for lower velocity 35s, such as the 35 Rem. I'd need to look it up to be certain, but if so, driving it at Whelen velocities against a bear over bait at short ranges - shot one at...

    Christmas Rifle List!

    +1 to you and Hunter26, but if you get the 41, can I get one in 454... or 480?
