Hello members,

I am in need of your knowledge. Yesterday I talked to my outfitter regarding my upcoming mountain hunt in September.

He asked if I could ride. We have different languages so I first thought why do I have to drive. I'll be coming with a plane, I hope so .

No horse riding he mentioned. Uhm no, I think it is more than thirty years ago that I've sat on a horse. He showed me the the terrain, very steep and being certain I'm no mountain goat I see his point and need to...

Looking to get my model 70 Rebored to 35 Whelen, it’s a classic sporter and I’d rather keep the factory Winchester nomenclature than rebarrel it.
I’m curious if anyone has pictures of how to go about the caliber designation.
I’ve read elsewhere that guys have sanded off the factory designation, it gets re stamped and then just touched up with cold bluing.
If anyone has pictures of this I’d love to see them.
Thanks

In 1912 Holland & Holland envisioned a complementary pair of sporting rifles and introduced the .375 H&H and .275 H&H. We all know the story of the great .375 while the .275 faded. The 7x57 was introduced in 1892 as a military cartridge and has gone on to stardom. What is your opinion of why the .275 H&H did not find the success that the 7x57 Mauser has earned?

Thank you.

Has any one loaded 275gr. to 310gr. bullets in the 35 Whelen?
I have some 275gr. Hawk bullets on order. I have not found much load data for heavy bullets in the 35 Whelen. If any one has used any brand of .358 bullets of 275gr and bigger in their 35 Whelen I would like to hear your experience and any load data you suggest, starting load, expected muzzle velocity, ect.

Thanks
