Enthusiast's guns is right! Mike and Con have that nailed, as does Steve.
: The very best of the .35's, is a postion shared by the .35 Whelen Improved and the .35 Brown Whelen. I thought my .358 Norma was pretty special stuff, till I met a man in Squamish B.C. with a .35 Brown Whelen. His ballistics matched mine in factory ballistics - didn't hurt is brass and showed as good longevity as mine did. His standard M700 in the Brn. Whelen, build in the mid 70's was outstanding, but did kick hard too. Running a 250gr. Speer at 2,800fps takes it's toll. I know guys think that bullet is too soft, and it might be - for some game. On moose, it is nothing short of specatular when used by a good shot.
: I was feeling kinda short-handed, with the big belted mag., being matched by the '06 case, so I re-barreled the M602 BRNO to .375H&H with an unfired M602 barrel.
: The standard case is all that one needs as has been shown, but a bit more is always welcome.
: Locally, I have 3 friends with brand new .338 Feds. What a great little ctg. that too, will do it all. 2 of them have hunted almost exclusively with Marlin 45/70's, while the first to buy a Tika in the new Fed round, now owns and shoots many of my older wildcats. He thought the new Fed round would be a good one for his daughter, but I know Keith will do most of it's shooting.
: The best thing about rounds bsed on the .308 and .30/06, is once fired range pickup. Both of those .30 cals are popular around here too, and when the ERT squad counter-snipers are practising, I get all the Fed match brass I can use.
