If you were hunting bear in Alberta in 4months shooting a 35 Whelen and had 200gr Hornady RN, Hornady 200gr SP, Sierra 200gr RN, Sierra 225gr BTSP, Barnes 200gr TTSX, Barnes 225gr TSX, Nosler 225gr Accubond, or Nosler 225gr Partitions available to you, what would you shoot? The hunt may involve...

I have had and used the DNZ mount/ring on a rifle or two but have since stopped using them simply because they were so dad-blame ugly! I know, I know petty is as petty does and that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I just can't get by the looks of them no matter how I try! But they sure...

Thanks Slimfinn for confirming that the Norma holders/carriers are the same as those that Nosler once used. Someday when you get that ammo all shot up and if you no longer have need of those I would be willing to purchase them or trade with you if we could come to a mutual agreement. Thanks, 358Goat

A strange request I know! A few years ago I was at a range and noticed a piece of grey plastic by the trash barrel. I was going to put in the drum but when I saw what it was I had to have a second look. It was a cartridge carrier from a box of Nosler factory ammunition. It's just a 5 round...

Thanks for asking JD! 1.) Have the 35 caliber 200gr Accubonds been discontinued or is that only rumor? 2.) Were the 35caliber 200gr Accubonds designed to expand on game as small as whitetail deer? 3.) When will there be another run of the wonderful 35 caliber 225gr. Partitions?

I dropped a line to Nosler nearly two weeks ago asking a couple of straightforward questions but haven't had any response that they have even received my post. This is the second time that I've dropped them a line in the last three months with no response at all. I've even attempted to call...

Great shooting and some very beautiful trophies that I'm sure will help you remember that wonderful day! 358Goat

That was a most interesting read! Thanks for sharing a memory that you and your Mrs. will likely never forget. Large cats are not supposed to exist in my home state of Louisiana but I have absolutely no doubt about what I saw when I was about 12 yrs old. Thankfully I saw it but it never new I...

I know I am not old but I am not as young as I once was. As I age I find that I am far more prone to hunt with guns that have that "right feel" about them. I currently have ten or more guns that I classify as deer rifles. They range from stainless/synthetic bolt guns to my Marlins and a BLR in...

Three days before Christmas 1982 I killed a little 7point with my Christmas present that was given to me early. It was a Smith & Wesson 1000P 12ga pump. The buck was shot at about 40 yards with a load of 00 buckshot. He ran maybe a hundred yards and then piled up. What a wondrous morning it was...

I'm always late to the party it seems. I got a box to try in my 35 Whelen a couple years back and never loaded them because a customer service rep told me that they most likely wouldn't expand on whitetail deer. I don't know if that is true or not but now have a box of good looking bullets I...

This post made me think about my early years too. After college when I moved out on my own I had a 410 and a 12ga, a 30/06and a 257Roberts plus a couple 22s. I didn't know just how good I had it! I really wish I had that BLR-81in 257Roberts back...

It's a disease and I don't wish to be cured! Most of my doubles 35 calibers but I don't make online lists...

This is the way that it looked several years ago. Since then I've changed the Leupold standard base and rings to Talleys and changed the scope to a Leupold 2-7x with Heavy Duplexes reticle. This rifle, caliber and scope seem to fit perfectly for the way I hunt. I could'nt imagine anything else...

I knew someone would probably a comment about the 358 STA!!!

My favorite on the 06 case was my first center fire rifle that I mowed lawns for in the mid 1980's. Because I shoot left handed I opted for a Remington 7600 in the father of them all, the 30/06 Springfield! But by 1990 I was out of college and wanted something different so I decided I wanted...

That's a nice buck ! I'm proud for you! I've killed quite a few deer with the 35caliber Hornady 200gr RN bullets out of my BLR in 358. My experience echoes that of many others in that it does well up close and personal but once it slows down a bit it is kinda slow to expand. There's an article...

It's tough when you have a few to pick from but I've made a few favorites through the years. Really my first 336 is my favorite of my Marlins and might just be my favorite rifle. While I have killed a number of deer with it it I've taken a lot more deer with a bolt actions but even so find...

I would love to find a Remington 760 in 35Rem!!! Only problem is I'm saving every penny for a Bear hunt in Alberta right now. But I would likely go float a loan if I found one reasonably priced. My first rifle was a Remington 7600 in 30/06 but it was stolen more than 25 years ago now.
