My Ruger Whelen will be throwing 225 gr TSX's. You know, that tough gristle plate and all.

Been thinking about bringing my Whelen.............
It's a thumper!
I'm not a hotrodder so 225 grain Sierra Spitzers over 54.5 gr RL 15 give a MV of +/- 2,400 fps.
ya!

GW,
I have thought the same with my pre-war JP Sauer Whelen. I fitted a new rear sight years ago but have yet to file it in. Hmmm...

I have never shot a Tikka. I think this one will be fun.
May take it out in the morning to range and see what I can do with it at 100. Ammo is going to be factory Hornady 143 ELD's until I can get the dies and whatever powder and some more 143's together.
I guess I owe the drink this time at the hunt. One becky creek coming up.

That is a jewel! Luv the double set trigger.
I have 2 Sauer 200's. The actions are slicker n' owl schitt, they've beautiful wood and are shooters.
Luv to fondle it if you decide to bring it.

I was in Specs today. I was looking for Booker's and they were out. Almost bought a bottle of Garrison Bros.
Bought some Scottish ale and a cheap Gallon of Carlo Rossi Paisano instead.
Felt more like schleppin' than struttin'

Not sure. One of their whiskeys won a number of awards, so it's probably got some distributors. It is spendy stuff, I caution.
