Several boxes of those 225 Sierra's left over at a local shop in 2022 were $24 a box, but I don't shoot them or have never shot them. Bought them for a guy in WV that was looking for them and shipped them off to him. I don't think I've seen any since.
I'm currently shooting a souped up turbo charged 35 Remington load or soft 358 Win load in my Whelen. 43 gr's of IMR 4198 with the Speer 180 FP shoots well and gets 2475. Recoils like a 35 Rem but is a good bit more of a good thing with that Speer 180 for whitetails.
One is alone in a land so vast, there is only the mountains, the wind, and the eyes of God.
