35 Caliber bullets Vs. Bear

Well that was short lived. I should’ve spent hundreds more on bullets because they were all gone in less than 24hrs now I’m feeling like I should’ve bought more.

Luckily I've got 25 rds loaded and a full box of 50. I plan on using my 350RM for a Bison hunt in Jan.

In my 358Win I've had very good luck with the Speer 180 HotCor FPs on pigs. This one travelled the full length of a boar at 10' and ended up in the hind qtr.

It shoots pretty well in my 19" barreled Rem 7600:

In my 350Rem Mag I've pretty stuck with the 225 partitions and the Sierra GKs, but for the last couple years I've been using the 200grn Hornady Interlocks at 2870FPS on pigs and deer without an issue, and I've yet to recover one.
 
Those are great results! I have some of the 180s I’ll have to load some up and see how they do. Might be a good choice for blacktail this fall. What is your load of you don’t mind me asking?

Good luck on your bison hunt! Curious to know how the 225 Partition works.

That's:
Reformed Graf's 308 Win brass:
180 Speer FP
FED 215
52.9 TAC
MV; 2561 FPS at 31F
OAL of 2.6860. It's a JES Re-Bore with a pretty long throat, so these are magazine length.

I've gone as high as 54.0 for pressure testing without an issue, so I may do round 2 of load development when it cools down some. I put my 7600 together for our annual deer drives and it wears a 1.5-5 Leopold VX3HD Twilight Hunter scope, so I'm happy when it holds 1.5MOA.

That’ll work! Very nice thank you. Nice setups! I’d love to find a decent 7600 and have JES work his magic on it. Someday I’ll have one.
