Thanks for the replies guys i will post results when i get to the range. It will be several weeks I'm waiting on the gas checks I ordered as no-one near here keeps any in stock and they cost three times as much as importing them from the US. So I am impatiently waiting to get my stuff together

I finally got my mold and cast some bullets and took some photos. Sorry for the poor photo's

The bullet is short for weight and should stabilize if not it be fun to try

I agree shotgun fishing is the likely explanation. By the way that is one of my favorite movies my friend and i are trying to get some travelling salesmen to visit our hunting block. Also the moviewas made in 2003

It took me a while to get me own emotions in check and post this (the anniversary of my dads death is tomorrow) But you have all my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for your loss. Remember that time can't diminsh his love for you or yours for him.

your prayers are much appreciated

It's warm most of the year here so it's a hat tee-shirt and shorts for me and a towel when I get back.

I agree they are tough I have a good idea of anatomy having been around cattle most of my life (family connections) and have butchered my fair share.Also these won't be my first ferals having put bulls down with implements ranging from the back of an axe (don't ask) , 308w to 375 h&h (borrowed a...

Yes it does if it is resting on a hard surface the rifle will recoil away from the surface and, you can't control muzzle jump with your non trigger hand. This is why benchrests use sand bags and the better ones have gripper tops.

Water buffalo are tough. And, what's a scrub bull? My health insurance is ok. Scrub bull is Aussie slang for feral domestic cattle. They avoid being mustersd on our larger cattle properties mostly by being very aggressive so they have little respect for humans as many of them have fought with human...

Sorry the plan is to use a 35 whelen. The group i'm going with have turned to bowhunters and let their rifles go. After a couple of close calls I got an invite if I take the cranky ones

In september next year I have been invited to hunt on Cape York mostly for pigs but one of the chores is to hunt scrub bulls and water buffalo that refuse to be mustered. :D So my question is I want to use a hard cast bullet and Iam thinking of a 0.360" 300grain mould from cast bullet engineeri...

Stuffy have you given any thought to buying a left handed Savage bolt gun and rebarreling it. I have only rebarreled 1 Savage, but it was very easy and cheap. Yes I have . As savages are one of the two guns my local gunshops always have in lefty I tried to scource a barrel but neither of the local ...

Thanks for the replies sort of what I thought. I've had a hankering for a whelen for years but can't get a lefty bolt to fit the bubget. I used a steel framed blr for a couple of years but we didn't really get on. Now don't get me wrong I've had or used lvers in22lr,22wmr,32/20, 357mag,44mag,12gauge...

I'm wanting to buy a new rifle in 35 whelen. Being a left hander I have pretty well settled on a remington 7600 (Available again 2009). My question is, is it safe to rechamber one of these to 35 brown-whelen? The main reason to rechamber is to get a sharper shoulder (less cartrige trimming) Thanks i...
