Thread: After some Practical ideas

284 or 30-284 if you want 30cal

I’ve got a barely used .358 win barrel here, could be reamed to 35 Whelen. Problem is I think the barrel threads on the BRNO are a touch bigger than the Remington it came from..

The shorter you go the larger the bore crudely put. Basically the larger the bullet base you have to push on the less you lose from a shorter barrel.
I'm a 35 Cal fan. My 358win I consider to be good to 300 mtr with a Sierra GK 225gr, I'm under book max loads, (cant see how they get it all in) for around >2400 fps.
If I'm expecting smaller deer goats in Bush I load it with 158gr HP pistol bullets at 1650fps.
Would love a 35 Whelen, punching a 225gr GK or Nosler at 2800, thats scrub bull medicine,

Im actually a little surprised no one has mentioned the 9.3x62

I have a 338-06 that works just fine

338-06 (ai) , 35 welen or 9.3x62 would all work well.
