RE: .35 whelen ?

I think jessejames may be correct about the barrel lengths.If any of your 358's are 22"+ you aren't going to gain much with a 21" Whelen.Comparing the 308 to the 30-06 is the same thing,same...

All metal is pure Model 70.Could be described as the forerunner to the Ranger models. First centerfire I owned was a 670A in 30-06.Came with a Weaver Challenger 4X scope which I was told was a...

If I were you I'd go with the 7mm Rem Mag.I have a 270,7 Rem Mag and a 300 Win Mag.When handloaded my 300 will do 3100 with a 180 and the 7 Rem Mag will do near 3000 with a 175.Can't see any animal...

RE: Forming 3006 into .280

A friend of mine does it all the time. It's not a problem. The shoulder of the 280 being .05 further up than the '06 is a good thing. You form a second shoulder and headspce snug on that. When you...

RE: OK,.. I'm FAMBOOZELED!

Common problem with a Model 70 in STW or 300 Weatherby. 3.6" is not enough length for these cartridges. Get a Model 700 Rem with the 3.7" mag box.I wish Winchester would make about a 3.8" mag box in...

RE: 7mm rem mag and a 300

Before I start I must tell you that I have both a 7 Rem Mag and a 300 Win Mag(among others).It depends on the bullet weights you want to shoot.For instance,I view my 7 Mag as a light bullet,long...

RE: 7 mm mag. throat erosion?

smokepoledoug, I realize this won't answer your original question but if you have a 270 and a 30-06 you certainly won't gain,much with a 7 Rem Mag.It's pretty close to the 270 with lighter bullets...
