Hi guys, I have the choice of a big bore action, which I could have barrelled to 356w or a standard 94 action that I could have barrelled to 35/30-30.
A part of me wants to go for the 356w its different, it powerful and can be driven hard if you want to. So you could say the heart says 356W because it awesome!
The head is thinking a 35/30-30 is simple to form from available brass, it has a longer neck for cast bullets, it is easier to have a higher density of powder fill than the 356w and keep it within cast bullet velocities. I guess I am saying is because my plan isn't to go around the outback dropping camels with it every month that I don't think I need the extra energy that the 356w has over the 35/30-30. I don't plan on using jacketed bullets, so the 35/30-30 wouldn't be holding me back.
I guess what I am saying is am I right in thinking that the 35/30-30 is a better choice for cast bullets than the 356w? Am I only going to be wasting money on powder and brass over the 35/30-30?
Because right now the only think that really puts me off it is the fact brass is a pain.
Thanks
