    Keeping reloads in like new condition

    Do you happen to wet tumble your brass? I went back to dry tumbling with corncob media and a splash of NuFinish. Brass stays looking factory new now.

    21” barrel 25-06

    If the price is good, I would buy it and send it to JES to get it rebored to 35 Whelen. It would be a nice to carry woods thumper.

    Silencers - Why?

    The trade off in weight and length on a hunting rifle just isn’t worth it. For A dedicated range rifle, sure I can get on board with it. It seems like the same crowd who demand that a short action rifle cartridge is the only way to go, are tho first ones to grab a full length action Tikka...

    Sunday Hunt

    Limit of roosters and a couple bonus quail! Nice hunt. Glad you enjoyed a successful hunt with the new shotgun on it’s maiden voyage.

    Surprising terminal performance, why?

    I use that bullet extensively in .35 Rem, .358 Win, and 35 Whelen. It is a very well balanced bullet. It is soft enough to expand at rather pedestrian .35 Rem velocities, yet tough enough to handle speeds up to 2900 fps out of the Whelen. Don’t buy in to the sectional density preachers. This...

    35 Remington

    I never had a problem with Winchester brass from factory loaded ammo. BUT…their component brass is a disaster. I think they mix in a good percentage of factory reject brass. I had bought 2 50 ct. bags of .30-06 brass a couple of years ago where about 80% had severely out of square necks. There...

    It looks like there's a .358Win in my future.

    I had JES rebore a 30-06 Savage take off barrel to 35 Whelen a few years ago. Got a 3 grove 14 twist. It shoots great. You won’t hear a word from him until he ships it out. Your rifle build sounds great. Keeping my eyes open for a Remington model 7 to get rebored to .358 Win.

    It looks like there's a .358Win in my future.

    Stormys are classic indeed. But I have a soft spot for Jones hats. Reminds me of testing my dad’s patience following him through the woods as a young fella not old enough to hunt, but fascinated by him and the outdoors he loved so much.

    Deer Hunting, Heavy and slow or light and fast bullets?

    I prefer a medium velocity cartridge with a heavy bullet. Sure, a light fast bullet of proper construction placed in the vitals will work and has worked for me. I sometimes hunt small (40-80 acres) tracts of private land. You can bet that if your shot deer crosses into adjoining property, you...
