[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2561604, member: 120766"] This is a chicken or egg issue for me since I will be using factory ammo and the round I use will be dictated by which round(s) the re-bored rifle likes. The bad news is that there are not many factory options. The good news is that accuracy out of the gun is really the only consideration that will matter, as I'm not using it in a lead free zone and I'm not too concerned about terminal ballistics when it's drilling a .35 caliber hole. So, as long as it shoots good enough for 300 yard deer hunting, I'll be good to go. Based on that, I would say that I'd like versatility in the rounds I can use ... if for nothing else than upping my chances of finding a factory round that will shoot well in the rifle. I have picked up some 200 and 250 grain Core Locts and might be picking up some Federal Fusion 200 grains. The Nosler ammo with 225 grain AccuBonds would be a great round for anything I'd ever hunt with the rifle if I can ever get a hold of any. I hope the lighter bullets shoot well since they are plenty large for what I'll use them for and fly flatter with less recoil. But if the heavier bullets shoot better, I'll go with them. If I can't find a factory load that shoots okay, I'll probably send it in to a place for customized ammo to be made, since I don't currently hand load. Sounds like some heavy Hammer bullets would be an option in that case. But I'd be tickled pink if I find a factory round that shoots good enough for the intended purpose. So, not sure if that means I should go with a fast twist rate or what ... [/QUOTE]
