Re: What's the best light double rifle cartridge for NA big game
|
I have a light double in .35 WCF which is pretty ideal.
Think of it as a 35 Whelen for a double rifle, similar ballistics but lower velocity.
Can be formed from 30-40 Krag brass, it's readily available and very good bullet selection.
Max CIP is 44K. My loads (250 @ 2100 fps) run about 40K
The 200 grain projectiles can be shot a little faster, about 2400 fps.
