You can't go wrong with either the 30-30 or 35 Rem in a Henry or Marlin. I have a Marlin 336 in 35 Rem and it's an awesome rifle. Furthest shot was 160ish yards on a doe. That shot was with the factory Hornady Leverevolution load. Which shoots great but I can't stand it's on game performance...

The 7 Back Country didn't interest me but the 6.5 Creedmoor case with the same alloy is interesting for sure. Handloader had an article on reloading the 7 BC. Federal currently recommends that you only reload their nickel plated peak alloy cases and not the uncoated ones like in their Fusion...

Not sure, but Hodgdon has load data for those cartridges with Grand to hold you over.

Very interesting, wonder if they would expand at all in jugs?

Well good news is you got to keep yours! Any idea what thst load is running? 24" barrel?

As many have already said, they're great rings. I have them on several rifles. Their customer service is really good too.

Wow, what a hunt! I think you may need to buy a lottery ticket with all that luck! Great rifle & cartridge too. Well done. Hopefully you can get your 35 Rem figured out. I love mine.

What a beautiful rifle and a shooter at that! Like others have said, try either H4895 and/or going lighter in bullet weight if your starting 180gr handload is still too much recoil. I would be very cautious going lower on IMR4831 than what the book suggests. Hang fires and large velocity swings...

Yes, use the seating die. You don't want a hand fit, especially in a lever gun. You could accidentally seat the bullet deeper during cycling and have some pressure problems. Are these black powder loads in a single shot or smokeless in something else?

Not sure I'd call it a replacement for R26. Ive had pretty good accuracy in my 6.5 & 7mm PRC's with Staball HD but velocity has been quite a bit lower than what the manuals say.

I've always liked the Sig 1911's but have never owned one. Should be a good shooter if nothing else!

Wouldn't that be a piebald since its not totally white and red eyed?

I've seen a black coyote while hunting but couldn't get a shot. I have trail cam pics of a tiny piebald doe but never saw her in person. I've seen an albino doe in the back of a neighborhood around where I live, shes kind of famous.

My first Sig was a two-tone P226 in 9mm. Then Sig came out with the Elite and I found out you could drop a 357 Sig barrel in a 40 & vice versa. Sold the 9mm and never looked back. The P220 Hunter I have (as all Hunters) has the 5" barrel and is SAO. Its been very accurate but may get a trigger...

I'm a Sig fan boy but haven't dabbled in the P320's. I have a couple P220's, P226's, P229, P239 and a P365 XL. I shot a deer with my 10mm P220 Hunter last year and recently got a P226 X-Five which has been a phenomenal gun.

I'd be a little cautious with a round nose in a bigger centerfire like a 30-06 and above if your pushing the velocity for big game. Using one meant for 30-30 velocities could be...interesting. Personally I'd run some in milk jugs to see how they perform at the velocity and distance you plan on...

I don't think there's any reason to get rid of a good 300 WM for the 300 PRC or 257 Weatherby for a 25 RPM etc unless you have your heart set on running very heavy high BC bullets. The 300 PRC can run 245+ gr bullets, your factory twist 300 WM cannot. So it's honestly just preference on what you...

Well yes, modern cartridge design but the biggest difference is the faster factory twist of the PRC allowing you to run heavier bullets.

Awesome, I was waiting for the conclusion to this! Glad they got it fixed up and shooting right.

Sweet, I haven't used any yet but heard good things. I love ADG & Lapua & if its comparable then that's good company.
