I got a taste for hammer guns when I bought the Hollis last year. Nothing wrong with the Hollis, but this was an opportunity too good to pass up. If this shoots well I'll be selling my Hollis and Dakota fund it. I recenlty got a very sweet Husqavrana(sp) Toplever hammer 16 gauge that shoots (trap) like a dream.

Yes, the 35 Winchester is a great cartridge. Bullet weights from 200 to 310 with the 225 and 250 being the ideal. I should be able to push a 250 grain Nosler Partition a 2300 while keeping it under 17 tonnes. Needless to say, that will kill just about anything. A 200 grain plinker will come in at about 12 tonnes.
