This is just a side thought here. I don't know what your intended use will be for the Rossi. You indicated that you were interested in the .357 version. Though I have not had the pleasure of...

Kieth,
Saw your original post and thought "Boy I hope he's pictured that thing." 99s are so sweet.
Thanks
Can't help at all. Sorry. But Pictures would really be appreciated. The Swedes do such beautiful stuff.

My father came back from Germany in '47 with a 98 Sporter in 8mm. In Dad's hands it was a deer slaying machine. My brother has it now. I got him an LBT 215 gr LFN-GC years ago. He was using...

Back in the '70s my father gave me a 94 Trapper that just refused to group. I tried everything I knew at the time to no avail. I had friends shoot it with their loads. I had perfect strangers...

I have a 350 Rem mag in the M-600 Remington that I load with pistol bullets from 1000'/s up to 2800 with Jacketed HPs so I like the idea of the 356/358 Winchester. I am still planning to have JES...

Mike started with the questions so I figure I can ask some too. What is the bullet you are using, the Lee RF? Checked or plain base? Are you using slow pistol powders - H-110, N110, 4227, Li'l Gun,...

Excellent article. If you have ability to do this in the future, I assure you I will read it.
Years ago - back in the 1970s - Al Miller wrote a cast bullet article of his experiences with the 350 Rem Mag. He attributed the 350's grand performance with cast to the leisurely twist: 1 in 16". ...
So glad you came back to this post. I don't have the Whelen but I have a 350 Rem Mag on the old M-600 action. This is very much what I found when using light pistole' bullets. (jacketed loads I hot...

I have pushed a 310 gr. RCBS with H-110 to 1550 foot seconds from a 20" barrel. With Li'l Gun and an XTP of 250 gr. I've reached 1752'/s at a grain below Max. At 1800'/s that little carbine starts...

Like missionary Mike, I too have a 45 Rossi. Mine is imported by LSI, its Stainless with a not at all pleasing blackish stain on the wood. It has the safety on the bolt which I didn't mind but to...

I seem to always be late for the party. Your reported load of C.E. Harris' 155 gr - 28gr 3031 should get you around 1725-1750 foot seconds from a 20" barrel. Use the Flat Nosed Lee bullet with this...

This was a really fine write-up. It is rare (for me) to hear of hunting failures. Most folks don't much want to talk about failures. By sharing this with us we all learn. I'm grateful for your...

140068That is an interesting arrangement - first time I've seen that concept. I too have that "Old Eye" syndrome so I went with an aperture sight from Steve's Gunz. This arrangement gives me a...

We love to have the birds in the back yard. It didn't work well though because of the rats. I shined a light out there one night and had a dozen pink eyes lookin' back at me. Oh the joys of city...

I have two older Lyman manuals ('55 & '57) both containing data for Hi-Vel. For your 30-30 max load is 29 grains using the 311291 and 311413.
This was a very respectable choice back when I was...

Dougader,
This is the sort of confirmation I was looking for. I don't have the Lyman book but the Lee manual shows IMR-4350 (faster than ReL-19 or H4831) with 55 grains (probably a full case, and...

Thanks for the RE19 tip. This was new to me and warmly received. It is one more avenue to approach the problem.
Hardcast,
I remember it well.
Thanks to all for your help.
