MedRiver,
How much difference in POI between the light pistol bullet load and a full house hunting load?
DF
My full house load is sighted to shoot 2.5-3" high at 100. Inside 30 yards where I shoot my coons the light loads hit within an inch of POA. My guess is the full house loads hit real close to the same spot up close.

Ive always wanted a .35 Remington, but never really "understood" the .35 Whelen. A lot of folks I know use them in Mississippi since it qualifies for a "primitive" weapon IF fired from a single shot, breech loading firearm.

No Love? Every Yankee in the country is statutorily required to own a .35 Whelen!

Two 350RM 660 & 600 & 35Rem in the middle. Awesome! Always wanted one of those in .35 Rem!

I divested of my last 35 stuff a while back, because I had the bright idea that I didn’t ‘need’ them.......but I’ve always ‘wanted’ them. My first ‘deer rifle’ I bought myself in 1984 (with my yard mowing savings) was a BLR in 358......since then, I’ve had 3-4 more 358s, a couple of 35 Rems, a couple of 356s, 357 Max single shots.......liked them all. Shoulda kept them all. I don’t guess they did anything that something else could do, but most were more efficient or pleasant about it, in one way or another.

I use Lake City cases resized and match prepped then simply sized up and checked for length as 358 Winchester. There are Austrian Hirtenbirger cases of 7.62X51 for sale at Aimsurplus. 400 rounds, on stripper clips, in bandoliers all in military ammo boxes I believe. Some of my 358 Winchester is in those resized empties. I use them in my 308s and resize them with a match prep done first. I have more of that in Lake City brass. Don't believe what you read in the gun rags about the HK 91 chamber ruining the brass. I have reused it many times in both the 30 and 35 caliber versions. Yes it has visible marks but they don't cause me trouble. I have used them several times as reloads. I have two rebores thought out in a SAKO L579 F/S and a Ruger Tanger F/S. But Jess says I have to be prepared for a rough LOOKING bore in the hammer forged stuff from that era of Sako. That would bring my count of 35s to around eight. And none of them is a 35 Whelen. I sold my 7600 in Whelen. The 358 single shot pistol is calling me to finish out the doe season for (muzzleloader and other weapon) in Misery. Be Well, RustyZipper.
