[QUOTE="truck driver, post: 1497510, member: 49660"] I have a rebored 30-06 to 35 Whelen/AI that thinks it's a sniper rifle. It started out in life as a M70 CRPF in the poly factory stock. I had a M700 classic that I didn't want to alter so the old M70 was sacrificed. J.E.S. did the work and put a longer then normal throat in it at my request so I could use the full length of the mag box. My pet loads consist of using CEF223 which is slower then 4064, BLC2 and all the favorites for the Whelen but boy does it make the 35/AI sing. You can easily reach 2850fps with 225gr Partition in 24" barrel if your willing to load to 64000psi with no problems. I try to keep mine to 62000psi. I use new 35 Whelen brass to fire form so I don't over work my brass. I also have loads for the 200gr AB at over 3000fps which shoots unbelievably small 1/2" groups at 100yds. The Ackely design hides pressure and will surprise you when it shows it's ugly head, like primers falling out of cases when you eject the fired case, brass flowing into the bolt face and such. Never have I felt a heavy bolt lift or locked up the bolt. The lack of bolt thrust keeps that from happening along with the straight line case walls design of the cartridge. CFE gives you a 95% case fill and works great give it a try and you will be pleased. [/QUOTE]
