There was one wandering around in western Iowa a couple of years ago. Usually someone will poach something like that oddity.

Any experiences with Hammer bullets in a 35 Whelen? How similar to a .358 Winchester?

After I wrote that I was thinking about a 35 Whelen, I stopped by the local gun shop and bought one but haven't picked it up yet. We will see how the 180 Barnes works in it.

I looked at both and fell for the marketing. Thinking about a 35 whelen which is now legal.

I just bought a .243 for coyote hunting as I live in a "straight wall state." I grew up in Kansas where we could use a better rifle caliber, first a 30-06, then a .308. A neighbor used a .270 which Dad regarded as too light for deer. Wait, I have a .270 and a 6.5 creedmoor too. But am stuck...

My dad and I both bought 788's in 308. Both had a universal 4x scope. We both killed many deer and coyotes with those guns. We paid $100.00 each. Dad gave me his rifle before he passed away. My son has it now. My youngest brother bought one that was left handed. Will keep mine forever.

Or a spare detent spring means time for a new build.

Congrats! Beautiful deer!
