Just picked up a custom Mauser model 98 from a member here in .35 Whelen. Just annealed 50 cases to get started from my stash of 06 brass. Have some 225 ago and a few hundred 225 accubonds to start working up loads. Looking forward to trying it out and think it will be a good big game rifle. There is a lot of overlap in cartridges, and I’m trying to get down to a few rifles that I can go and do more hunting. The .35 and a .308 or 7mm/08 n in and a lot of sense.
