I grew up in Dallas, so I'm very familiar with hot and humid, but El Paso is a much different kind of heat. I find it much more intense here + as I get older I find I can't tolerate it nearly as well as I used to. In a word, it's miserable. I miss the rain. Whenever I think to myself how f'in hot it is here, I check the weather in Anchorage on my phone, which only makes it worse!

Try this with a 9.3 - Hint: they don't make 0.366" dia pistol bullets.
9mm Makarov is .365". It is close enough to shoot well in my 9.3 bore. Moreover, one can always seat a Mak JHP backwards if the 9.3 bore is a little too generous. The HP becomes a miniball type skirt. .366 meplat is a wicked wad cutter. May not feed from the magazine though. Learned something new . . . What powder/velocity? W-231 is my powder of choice with pistol bullets in the Whelen at around 1,200 fps.

With all this 35 love going around, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the grand daddy of them all, the 350 Rigby Magnum ![[Linked Image]](http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/Primary/264/264979.jpg) Belted magnum performance without the belt, and feeds slicker than snot with it's gradually tapered case. Downsides would be ammo availability, brass availability and load data being scarce. But it'll handily push a 250 gr bullet to 2700 fps with 66 gr of RL15 or 71 gr of H-4350 and the one I had made would group under an inch. That might be the grand daddy, but this one would be the first born after that. 350 G&H Magnum ....... 375H&H necked down to 35cal with not other changes. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/2439candace/3502.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v469/2439candace/3501.jpg)

It's a 24hourcampfire get together.
Go to the Armijio Springs,New Mexico thread on the Hunters Campfire and there you can get an idea of what it is about.

Looks like it will be a fun time. I may be able to make it. I have my daughter on Friday and Saturday, but her mother has been very difficult lately and I'm not sure whether or not she'll cooperate - 6 hrs. one way is a long drive for just the day. I will work on it.

I think if you can figure it out one way or the other it would be worth it. Relaxing and some super fine folks!

I'd go in heartbeat every year if I had enough time off. Alas that is not the case.
