Soon as I can find some CFE locally I intend to try it. This Oryx load is over a healthy dose of 8208XBR. Not the fastest, but damn accurate. Shoots 5 round cloverleafs all day. But I'm always up for trying new loads.

May not get my Whelen back! He's now 3 for 3 on bull elk at 12 years old. I dread the day he doesn't draw a tag!

Definitely have room to grow this load. I haven't measured case capacity yet, but have been loading on Norma brass. Seems I'm getting lower pressures than with R-P brass in the same given loads. I just stopped once I had nice cloverleafs going. Ran out of time before the late elk hunt, but more...

250g Norma Oryx ammunition

Had bought a 35 Whelen from @Robmill70 a while back. Grandson decided to test the loads. 250g Norma Oryx at around 2554fps. Was the sweet spot for accuracy, and can't complain about the results.

Replied. Thanks for the fast response!

Any chance one of you gents has some 358 Norma brass they'd be willing to part with? If so, shoot me a message. My son recently acquired a 358 Norma (a 7mm RM bored by JES), and we have a set of dies. But, I hate to make my own brass if we don't have to. Would be nice to have some proper head...

Scope arrived exactly as advertised (or better). Thanks to @Wishfulthinker580 Class act and a gentleman to do business with! Much appreciated! Mark Winsaz

PM sent..

Just received this rifle. Looking forward to getting it ready for elk season. Thanks to @Robmill70 ! A real gentleman to do business with.

The temptation was too great!

Thanks for the response! Congrats to the buyer!

Hit me up if sale falls through! GLWS!

In my opinion, these scopes compare with the much more expensive options as far as optical clarity. Have had zero trouble with mine, but understand the Athlon warranty to be right up there with Leupold & Vortex. FWIW... GLWS Mark

Good thing I don't wait until this happens. I'd go bankrupt at these prices...
