New from Indiana

[Savage 35]

Hello everyone, I'm new here, but have visited everyday for about the past year. I'm a hunter, fisherman, and outdoorsman from Indiana. I love archery, but after shoulder issues I have been using a crossbow for some time. I've been a reloader for several years. I've built a few 35 remington bolt actions off of Savage 10's with Shilen barrels that have been absolutely awesome out to 200 yards on deer. I have shot it farther, but no shots on game farther. Right now, I'm putting together a 6mm arc Encore with a 26"barrel for longer range, without recoil. Hopefully be up and running in a month. My question; could someone run a quickload for that with the 95 lrx at 2.325 c.o.a.l., at 62000 psi? I would appreciate any and all info. I hope to learn and share more as time goes on.
Thanks, Jamie

Thank you so much, sir. We've not been able to use rifles for that long in Indiana, to deer hunt with, and that's my main goal. Now, I'm still trying to learn distance target shooting, which I've never had to do, but I want to start with what I have on hand and eventually build from that. You contribution to my goal is greatly appreciated
Jamie
