That extra diameter at 9.1mm just lends so much more shocking splat factor even if the velocity is a little done on a 308 or 30/06. I see guys driving the 35 Whelen with a 200 gr at up to 2900 fps.

Hi 35, With a Bush edges on your block you are in the box seat for some organic meat. Happy Hunting.

Maintenance $'s on Thompson's is or was $3000 from Waikato side to summit per year and zero $'s on BoP side...Waikato side saves their $'s for a few years before having a spend up.
