[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2536597, member: 14204"] The most cost-efficient option is what [USER=106919]@Ross1147[/USER] is suggesting (barrel re-boring with JES). Your Howa in .30-06 is more than likely a 1:10" and a .35 Whelen typically has a much slower barrel twist, i.e., a 1:16 inch twist. From the look of the [USER=106919]@Ross1147[/USER] shot group, it is not an issue. However, he probably custom-hand-loaded them. There is nothing worse than having your dream rifle, and you cannot shoot it because you do not have ammunition. Since accuracy is one of your goals, you are at the mercy of how good the factory ammunition is and hope your rifle likes them. Do you have a friend that reloads? Good luck! [/QUOTE]
