[QUOTE="bengineer, post: 2091781, member: 36951"] I shoot 35 Whelen in a factory 700, 358JDJ in a 14” Contender and 357 Herrett and 357 mag in a 10” Contender. I use an NOE 360-232 FP cast in the larger two and 200 or 180 LBT FN in the smaller two. 35s kill disproportionate to diameter, even comparing to the equivalent .338s, in my experiences. Bullet selection can be scant at times, but with a mould and a few different alloy options, a guy can tailor a cast bullet to most any speed a Whelen or smaller will give you and the performance can match most any conventional bullet. I cant make my cast do what a Triple Shock does, but i can match or beat the penetration OR the expansion, just not both at the same time. Usually. [/QUOTE]
