That is one thing I am certain of.
I have another build in mind. Please don't tell my wife.

I'm snitching.

Thanks guys, I knew I could count on you.
Rats, nothing but a bunch of rats

I have a very good friend locally, every time he steps on his crank(pretty often) we tell him not to worry, we won't tell anybody... we will tell Everybody. So welcome to the club.

I broke the news to her. She wasn't too amazed at all. Maybe I finally have her broken in?

broken in ??? doubtful,,, wore down? maybe..
I told the wife I was all but done buying new rifles,,,, I was just gonna have the ones I do have, rebuilt into what I really wanted.
I think she only heard the first part of what I said..
And women say we have selective hearing.......
My biggest problem is that I need to convince my father that his Mod 70 would like a new barrel and stock........

PM me his phone number. I'll convince him for ya!

Yes, it will be worth the wait. Tim's rifles SHOOT.
BTW, Brad, I've been working all day and will be at it again tomorrow earning some OT, but I did get my throat slugs lined up and some measurements taken. Once I get the taper figured right I'll update Tom and see if he can get the next iteration of the 31-185G drawn up. You OK with 185-ish grains? It seems perfect to me in the configuration and case capacity, right between the ideal .308 and 30-'06 weights.
Gear
When I mention a new gun purchase, the Mrs. asks if the bills are paid. I love that woman!!
P.S. Tim's rifles shoot very well.
Gear, that sounds about perfect. Working some OT? I haven't done that in years. I used to get about a day a month when I was younger. I don't miss that.
I'm pretty sure dad will let me use the rifle. He can't shoot it any more anyway. About 5 years ago he suddenly went blind in his right eye and he is a righty. I found some offset scope mounts but they just didn't work on that rifle. They are perfect on my daughters Rem 700 in 300 savage so he used that for hunting now. Right shoulder, left eye. Isn't bad to do at all. He uses the same with a red dot on his shotgun for turkey.
Because he can't use it I'm pretty sure he will be game. Neither of my brothers are hunters or shooters so they aren't interested in it anyway. I just gotta ask.
The wife won't mind. Much. She is really pretty good about this as long as I make sure she is taken care of too. A trip to Paris next year should take take of that obligation.

a 185 at 24-2500 fps won't have too many uses other than hunting or making holes in paper...
What other uses are there?

Rebarrel that Winchester and shoot 800 yd groups like these...
It won't be shooting that far, I'm looking at a pure cast bullet shooter. I really think a 358 Win is the way I will be going. It is a long action so a 35 Whelen would fit but I like the powder capacity on the 358 Win.

Oh, that is some dang fine shoot LL.
Looks like you know your way around a trigger.

What we aught to do is a 358XCB. I'm not kidding. Just a little bit more powder capacity would put 3031 right in the drivers seat for 2400FPS.
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
35 Whelen run in 1/4 inch short? Sound like a neat idea. The longer neck sure wouldn't hurt.
3031? I have never, ever used it. Hard to believe in 30 years of reloading but I just haven't. I would probably look at RE 15 pretty hard.
