[QUOTE="Locknload, post: 1612792, member: 20333"] I came to love the powder coated hard cast 35 caliber RCBS style bullets, in the 180 and 200 grain weight class while shooting steel for 35 years. I have shot them in revolvers, Contenders, Merrill’s, BFs, ARs, 700 Remington’s, Martinis, in Mausers and never had a problem reaching 2,700 fps in a proper action with no leading or gas system problems. 300 yards is a better distance for the cast but you could stretch the range to 400. Then switching to jacketed bullet, the 35 Whelen will reach on out. It’s power and ease of loading is well established. I prefer big bore loaded down rather than small bore loaded up. Wnen I want or need a thumper, it is there by just switching Ammo. Ed [/QUOTE]
