Forgot to add, most of the 270 is old remington brass that were in the original boxes that my dad had from way back. So old that the price stickers on them said $9!

Hot damn, that stuff is PURTY !!
It is one thing I have never invested in.....I embarrassed myself in a brass swap with a member on this forum, who no longer posts ..<<<WHERE THE HECK ARE YA, BUBBA ???>>>
I sent him a bunch of dirty (but functional) brass and he swapped me back some of the cleanest brass I have ever had..
I felt kind of like a scrounge at first, but I got over it.....
Haha thank you!
Luckily this is very easy to do as long as the brass is reusable. Just toss it in there and forget about it for three hours.

Finally got to use the new tumbler I got a couple weeks ago. It's a frankford arsenal and uses stainless steel media. I threw a random assortment of brass in it consisting of 223, 243, 270, and 35 Whelen. Let it go in a solution of water, armor all wash and wax, and Lemi shine for three hours and this is how they came out. I'm very impressed with it, the brass looks brand new.

I agree with buckmaster7600 as I'm sure many others will also, but if you want a new rifle then go for it. If you want a bolt action, detachable mag, and prefer iron sights over a scope, then a Rem 700 BDL would be perfect in my opinion. Unfortunately they only make it in four calibers right now, but you can easily find one new in box in the caliber of your choice.

Great choice!
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMight have asked you this before, but what mount and rings are you using on your whelen? I'm not sure if i like the one that they sent on mine.

Well I stopped at Cabelas in Buffalo on my way home from a Penguins game and looked at scopes. I think I have my mind made up on the Leupold vx-3i 1.5-5x20.

The factory 1in16 twist on those can hurt accuracy with the 250's but I have heard of some that love them so you'll have to try and see what she likes. When you get your dies make sure you get some Barnes 225's mine loves them!

Good to know. I'll definitely start off with the 225 grain and go from there.

Purdy gun! Will you be adding a scope (What kind)?
I plan on putting a scope on it but I'm undecided right now. I like the leupold vx-r or a low powered vx-2

Thanks guys
My dream is to go on a moose hunt one day and I would love to take one with this gun. When I start reloading for it once I get the dies and some brass I think I'm going to make up different loads with 225 and 250 grain bullets just to see which it prefers and really get the full potential out of the gun like Pygmy said.
For now I'm going to sight it in with these 200 grain hornady superformances I have and go from there. I haven't heard much on the superformance ammo but I know hornady usually makes a good product.

Well I added another gun to my collection.. A factory 35 Whelen 7600 carbine. I've wanted one of these for years and seeing buckmaster7600s collection just made me want one even more. This is my third 7600 and by far my favorite gun in my collection. It came with a synthetic stock but I threw some walnut on it as soon as I got it home. I'm really looking forward to shooting it.
I also have a new Remington V3 walnut coming in the next couple weeks.
Anyone have any reloading experience with the 35 Whelen or any experience shooting the cartridge? I'm looking at making up a good load for next season.

I like the 25-06. I don't have experience with any of the wby mags but I have heard before that they shoot barrels out pretty quick. Probably wouldn't be that big of a deal since it wouldn't be getting shot that much though.

Super glue will stop the bleeding!! I did the same thing to my thumb Saturday.

The deer I got today was already hit in the leg by someone else. It wasn't lethal but I could tell it was hurting and it was walking on three legs. I just got it home and hung up and found the entrance hole. .22 maybe? 223?

Had a huge fisher run 15 yards in front of me just now. Cool looking animal. I've never seen one in person until now.

Doe down. Beautiful morning to be out. Hopefully a buck strolls through now.

Couldn't agree more. If I'm out in the woods, then it's a good day. Harvesting an animal is just a plus. Nothing beats spending time with your family and friends in the woods.
Good luck with your surgery!

Thought this morning would've been better. The conditions were near perfect but I didn't end up seeing anything! Heard a few gobbles though. Oh well, going out Friday morning then heading north for the weekend.

Off topic but me and a couple other guys were shooting clays at camp once when an encon officer drove up and asked if our wood stocked 1100s were safe act compliant.... He was serious.

For those who have gone the fixed mag route, how have you gone about it? I just clicked the DD's Ranch link above and saw they sell a replacement mag release lock and an extended rear takedown pin. Is that (potentially speaking, not asking for anyone to render a legal opinion) all I would need to modify a new lower to make it "Compliant"?
Sure would be nice to use an AR style rifle for predator hunting at night instead of a bolt gun. However, I have no desire to share a cramped one bedroom studio with a roommate named Bubba for the next 5 years.
I fixed my mag with a locking style mag button so it can't come out and I have the extended rear take down pin. I have yet to shoot it but I don't think I'll have any problems with it. I actually like it a lot. I won't be using it for home defense so that's not really a big concern for me.

So as long as your mag is fixed .and only holds no more then 10 rounds
You can have pistol grip on any semi automatic rifle ?
Dont have any guns that are assault looking like a AR or anything with a pistol grip so just wondering whats legal now a days
As far as i know, yes, if you have a fixed mag you can have those accessories.

Thanks guys,
i've never used the corn cob media, as I'm new to tumbling. Mine is a rotary tumbler. If you're looking into using SS media in the future id definitely recommend it. The primer pockets on these are just about spotless. I also found it cool (yet weird) that i didn't find a single piece of media inside any of the cases. You would think that the small pieces of SS would be in the brass from getting moved around so much.
