I have three 35 Whelen rifles, I think I need to work up a different load for each one. I am ordering the 215 HHTs! 😁

I ain't gonna shoot them at live stuff if they are not accurate.

I'm struggling not to order these bullets lol! The .35 Whelen load I ended up making my (production) load is the 245gr SH at 2781fps. It is one of my best hand loads ever! In my mind, 300 yards and in the 245gr SH would be better medicine for plains game up to Eland than the 215gr HHT going...

I got my 35 Whelen CVA Scout back today and as promised here are the results. I was having miss-fires due to light primer strikes. There was a polite note in the box that said there was not an issue with the firearm, it was operator error. After examining the evidence I agree. They fired the...

All of the old Store Brand fire arms are interesting to me and there are bargins to be had. I gave $325 for the Ted Williams Mod 73 made in the 70's. A model 70 in the same condition would have been $750 or more.

I wonder how much money Sears paid Ted Williams to put his name on a Winchester!?!?! Anyway I picked up a 30-06 today I have no plans on turning into something else! You all happy now! :p:ROFLMAO:
