What a great thread!
I have a K98 Mauser action being turned into a 35 Whelen by Gunsmith Ed Lapour right now. I'm itching to get it back. It will have a 24 inch 1-12 Krieger with a brake. I was originally thinking I was going to do a 358 NM but I changed my mind. I've been stock piling all the Original Barnes 250s I can get my hands on.
I've been running QL numbers on this combo for a while. I was like a kid on Christmas waiting for this project to get done. After lurking on this read I am drooling to get started working up loads for it.
Oh, the 358NM? I have been talking to Montana Rifle Company about making me an X2 in 358NM.
I have an Idaho cow moose tag burning a hole in my pocket, but I'll have to use the trusty Ruger '06 for that this year. I'm heading to Alaska to work this September and I will have moose fever by the time I get home to hunt.
