My late Grandpa's reloading equipment recently became my reloading equipment. The man owned a single center fire rifle, a pre-64 hex or Oct (don't remember) barreled model 70 in 243 Win. Despite never once seeing him shoot it, he had a small trove of components and a basic reloder.

I need you guys to help me decide if the results I got this weekend are what I see at face value or if I'm causing other problems.
I have been developing loads for a 200gr FTX in my 35 Whelen AI so I was excited when I saw Winchester come out with StaBALL Match. I had been using W748 for this...

I removed the barrel last weekend and spun the new one on that same day. I ordered a rental go-gauge from 4D reamer...
My barrel just arrived and I'm starting to prepare for the build. Does anybody know where to find a 35 Whelen Ackley improved Go gauge? I've found a couple online to buy but they're backordered and who knows when that will arrive.
Anybody got a line on one or have one to buy/rent/borrow?
Thanks!
I'm building a 35 Whelen and I've been pouring over ballistics and downrange velocities for various hand loads to try and find the max range I can still get reliable expansion.
Perhaps I should have phrased it differently, beings velocity is the key factor in expansion. What velocities will...
I got back into deer hunting in 2020 and bought a Ruger American 350 Legend that has served me well, taking 3 deer in 2 years. The gun shoots beautifully and the cartridge is a ton of fun to shoot, HOWEVER. Both bucks I shot ended up being less than perfect shots and both first shots ended up...
