Hello every one have been browsing this forum for a while and had yet to join and post due to the fact that i had little to say that was until i was invited to hunt elk on some private land on the Oregon coast. The problem has arisen that though my 257 bob is more than enough for the local deer and i have heard that more than a few have taken elk with it i do not like the idea of a possible off shot and having to track a wounded animal and then loosing it. So being a some what practical man i have convinced my wife to let me get a new gun since my boy will be getting bob in the near future and i would need one any way. i have settled on the 35 Brown Whelen which i have heard has a few characteristic's that make it a little more difficult to load, and i will need help with the procedure of forming brass and if possible a lists of all the dies i would need. My goal with it is a 225 Nosler Acubond at 2700 fps out of a 22 inch barrel with a 1:12 twist from Pacnor since they list that chamber in the wildcat listing with a Zastava Mauser action and a Boyd's laminate stock and a 2-7 power Leopold scope kind of a tall timber thumper with legs to boot any help or advice would be greatly apreciated as i will not be going this year due to the time it will take to put the rifle together.
