Hey guy's,
Hit the range agian with the 356 still haven't had any success with reloadss. The factory stuff 1-2 in @ 100yds all day. Speer 220's the third shot is is right at the x-hairs. the first one 4in high/ left, 2nd 2in high/left. This is with 2 different powder with 220's. Could be me, but my 35rem shoots all day without a hick-up. If I have to use factory stuff for this hunting season I might as well use my 35 rem. the ammo is cheaper and easier to get and I'm confident with it. If I have to laod the 356 with 200's what's the advantage over the 35rem? What pushes me even more over the edge is my marlin 1894 in 44mag shoots 3in groups open sighted @100yds and a joy to shoot. Maybe I should scope the mag for Pa deer/bear. Any thought's max shot 150yds?
Recap:
356 all over the place 220's (w748/Imr3031)
advantage 356win/factory (200gr) vs. 35rem factory(200gr)
35rem(200gr) vs. 44 mag(260+gr)
thanks
