my rifle will keep three shots in under 2"(heavy loads) and i use leupold scopes. i like heavy bullets and lit,gun powder, be sure to get bullets that have heavy jackets as at the speeds you can shoot with the .460 the thin jacketed pistol bullets just go the pieces(explode) with no penatration...
i just bought a ruger 77r in .358 with a 22" barrel in like new condition(small safe marks) with a tattered original box(end sticker same # as the rifle). serial number 71-37340. any info pro-con welcome. i,m not new to .35 cal rifles as i have three 35 whelens.
i,d go with a 35 whelen rebore, with reloaded ammo there is not a nickles worth between them, one is .358 bore and the other is.366. ammo for the 9.3x62 is not as easy to find as 35 whelen as the same with cases-bullets. i own and shoot three 35 whelens and with varget powder run up to over 2500...
so true, they see a chance to make money and will do just that. if more primers are put in the pipeling, thats a good thing but don,t expect to see a big price reduction.
i just picked up a older # 1s in 475 linebaugh with 22" barrel in new condition, i don,t think it was fired except at the factory. i just got dies and a few cast bullets along with 10 boxs(20 rounds) of hornady shells.
i bought the other 5 boxes and he took 25.00 a box for them, so now i have 200 factory loaded rounds and 100 rounds of 480 factory unfired cases. that should do me for awhile. i will need bullets and am on the look out for them, i have a wtb add for dies.
looks like new,maybe never fired after it left the factory(no box or papers). i just bought five 20 round boxes of hornady ammo, 400 gr XTP #9140 for 30.00 a box and i can buy five more boxes at the same price.
this same man has a early 77 bolt action in .358 winchester that i may be able to get at a good price. i,m going to a gun show this weekend to see if i can pick up a set of dies-cases-bullets for the linebaugh.
