Sitka: Good to know, thanks. I've read about headspace issues with the standard Whelen. I didn't realize the improved version(s) resolved the headspace issues. Most of what I've read indicated that the A.I. version did not offer any real improvement in performance but there was no mention of the benefits the Improved versions had on headspacing.
It looks like the rifle I'm looking at is the Brown Whelen, but I'll look it up as you suggest.
Would forming brass via the "cornmeal method" be advisable rather than fire-forming standard .35W loads?
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right. - Del Gue
