I've never been one for "hot rodding" a cartridge. In my book, if you want a 35 caliber leveraction that you can get 2400fps with a 200 grain bullet then buy yourself a Browning BLR in 358 Winchester.

Why risk safety when you could buy a new rifle?

My main stay deer rifle is a 7x57 Mauser. I am very happy with 2600 fps using 154gr Hornadys or 2350 fps with old 170gr Sierras. If I wanted more I could always go Magnum.

Just my 2 cents.
