    35 Whelen Ruger Hawkeye african

    And so I did, with the Barnes anyway, top charge of 70 grains on center target was a winner, good stuff!

    Wow, Super Grade M-70 in .358 STA? That really would be something.

    I actually have a 700 Classic in .35 Whelen to, that's what started this journey some 30 plus years ago!

    35 Whelen Ruger Hawkeye african

    I have to admit I was a bit incredulous about CFE223 powder in the .35 Whelen, but you folks here convinced me to try it. I already had good loads with 225 Accubond's and TSX's with 4064 and Varget, but felt the velocity was not quite what it could be. This is 225gr Accubonds at an average...

    375 Whelen Improved?

    A couple summers back I walked into my favorite little neighborhood gun shop, and found much to my dismay they were closing after four decades in the business. Everything was on clearance, it all had to go. I had been going in this place at least three of those decades with my family, and knew...

    300 H&H my new favorite

    Old thread I know, but my old Model 70, .300 H&H is my favorite hunting rifle. In 2019, my new "Fancy" rifle misfired when checking zero outside camp the day before opening day of deer season in Western Washington. It worked fine in town at the range, but in the cold of the mountains it failed...

    Leupold HD scopes w/CDS-ZL

    I did not have the HD version, but I did have two VX-6, 2-12x42 Leupy's for a while. They were very good, decent weight for size, very good optics, and the adjustments never gave me any trouble. They were so good in fact, at the time I sold a Zeiss Victory and Duralyt. Now the Victory did have a...

    GPO Scopes

    I have a 3-9×40 GPO I got last year on my old .338 Winchester. So far it has been fine, but I only have about 60 rounds through it thus far. How durable it is remains to be seen. I put it on this rifle because it seems to kill scopes pretty quickly for some reason. I think for eye relief and...

    1” Tube Scopes

    A good 6x scope is one of the most underrated optics ever, excellent sight.
