Re: Why has the 35 Whelen never caught on?

9.3,

Yeah not all of us have the gear and know how to pour lead in anything handy (pistol cases) size and shoot them. I have yet to try them but I have some nice looking Mt. Baldy 270s for the 9.3X57. They seem to be well cast LBT LFN type cast in about 18BHN alloy. The person that emailed to confirm the order has an Husqy M46 himself and claimed that the bullets at the right speeds are great on small game or whitetails.

I have yet to hunt with my Husqy M46, but Daryl, the Mt. Baldy rep., and you certainly make it sound good. I like the feel and weight of the rifle very much. I see that you are working to convert Hoppdoc.

The Whelen or .350RM certainly can easily be a do it nearly all cartridge. The 9.3X57 may be a bit more of a niche player, but if I can assemble a good "grouse load" I can see it very at home in the heavy timber.
