You only have to buy it once I suppose.

You're obviously pretty set on the Whelan... Might be time to just take the plunge ;)

So, I just picked this thread up too. Yeh, Id stick to a more common rounds and consider the 338 or the 375 H&H or 9.3x62

There also needs to be a decent jump/difference if keeping the 308. That's why I got a 3006, seemed middle of the road and ammo is easy to buy.

Of course you could have at this thread?? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6902 Its back under control now.

Be interested to know what you ended up getting?

G'Day Fella's,

Headspace, I have a Ruger M77 MkII Stainless in .350 Rem Mag in Excellence condition that I no longer need.
This has basically the same ballistics as the .35 Whelen but in a short action rifle.

Here is an image of it.
