[q they'd have been thrilled with an extra 150'/sec in their baby.

I hear you Pard...after killing Plains Game with what was "essentially" 358 NM territory loads, I just "could not" make myself slow the Ol Boy down! ha My next 35 after I hung up the Whelan, was indeed a 358 NM! I got to shoot 10rds of Double Tap factory 180 TTSX out of it when it was finished ( brake and all). Not a week after, I got hit with a dump truck load of "Obamacare" caused Taxes! had to sell everything I could get my hands on, even the change under the couch cushions! ha Finally accumulated a few factory rifles since, but no more 35 cals. But I tend to gauge everything by how that old 35 WAI performed! I agree with the Old Timers that one does not "need" the extra speed, just hunt closer. But Im glad these new powders have come about...
