In a recent email correspondence Mike McNett at DoubleTap he tells me that a 1-14" twist will stabilize their 310 Woodleigh loads. Has anyone tried the 275 gr. A-Squared .358's? It would seem to be a way to get a bit more umph than the 250 gr. loads in a barrel with a slower twist than the 1-14". A 275 gr. bullet was the standard load in the 350 G&H Magnum. The problem is that the A-Squared guys want more than $2 a bullet.

I killed a 5X5 bull elk last Sunday with my 35 Whelen built on a pre-64 Winchester M70 action. I was shooting a 250 gr. Hornady Interlock clocked at 2600 fps. One shot at about 50 yards in the timber and he was down and dead. I found the remains of the bullet (weighing 129 gr.) under the hide on the far side. He was on the move angling toward me and the shot went in the chest just in front of the right shoulder and I found the bullet just behind the left.
