I'm going to post another note here.
: If and when I build anther bolt gun, it will be a standard .35 Whelen. This is something I decided upon a year ago.
: The reason is that the .35 Whelen possesses all the power I need for the hunting I do with 250gr. bullets, kicks less than my improved .375 or the 9.3x62 for that matter. The 250gr. Speers work perfectly at 2,500fps on moose and bear and punch nice holes through deer. They are very accurate in most .358's. I could also make due with the 250gr. Hornady round nose for all hunting. It's flat enough shooting to my limit of 300yards and has a decisive 'anchoring" effect on moose. Come to think of it, my current 'new-to-me rifle does all that I need, exactly as provided above, using 225gr. swaged & 232gr. Normas; 270 Speers and 300gr. swaged Hornadys. It's a 9.3x57 Husky m46.
