?.. I hadn’t heard of these misfire issues with the .35W which would kind of remove it from the running for a rugged reliable bush gun…
The controlled feed action should be holding the cartridge in place. Fred Zeglin used to build rifles chambered for the 40 Brown Whalen and had no problems with misfires.
…but for reasons I can’t explain I love the idea of having a “custom” gun and cartridge for that one day I make it on the bush plane haha…
Life is too short to hunt with a common rifle! Not counting my muzzleloaders, I have built or have had built for me 6 custom rifles. All were/are used and all performed to my expectations. Cartridges range from the 22 Long Rifle to the 50/70 Government.
Determine what you want and go for it!
