Anyone hunt with Contender in 35 Remington? - 01/24/10
I sold my big boomer Encore last week and want to backfill with a contender boomer. I sold my 358 JDJ to finance the 350 and my uncle won't sell it back........bastige!
Can't blame him, it shot nice little one ragged hole groups with 225 Noslers.
I'm looking at getting another 358 JDJ or Bellm and have a lead on a 375 JDJ. After looking at my load data for my JDJ and Bellm data, a plain jane 35 Rem may be the answer. I've carried my big boomers bear hunting and can see a use for East TN pigs. I like a 220/225 grain bullet for those purposes from a pistol.
What loads/bullets/velocities are you guys getting from the plain jane 35?
