I think that’s right at max or . 1 over. Zero pressure signs but shot tell well to mess with. I run...
I picked up a Japanese weathermark few years ago in 300 wby. Finally got around to playing with it for upcoming Colorado trip. Wish I would have messed with it years ago. Hate weatherby stock design so I put it in a Bell Carlson 700 style stock. Bedded the action, recoil lug and floated it. I...

Do you know how long the barrel is on your cousins 338-06. Im torn between that and 280 ai. I just hunt whitetail and black bear as big game. So pentration is not that crazy of an issue. But i just like them big 338 bullets.
When these holidays are over im gonna start this project been collecting pieces and parts for years now that i got donar action might as well start it.
I looked hard at the whelen still not out of the question. I was told the 35 is a killing machine on whitetail which is all i really hunt. The bullet choose is very limited for 8mm so kinda shy'd away from that one.

Picked up NIB Savage 111 270 win on a trade for practically free. Id like to rebarrel it to something "different" I love messing around on the reloading bench just don't no what to go with. I was kinda thinking 280ai or 338-06 but im not really biased against anything so all suggestions welcome...
