Re: OT - Any 35 Whelen OR Remington pump rifle experience?

Hi All,

I've got a bolt rifle in .358 Norma that I handload down to Whelen ballistics. Great little rifle....kills like Thor's Hammer.

Hi All, From what I understand, the Combat Commander is all steel....although I don't have a magnet to test it. I'm looking at Paco's heavy bullet at somewhat faster than normal 45 ACP velocities.

OT--45 ACP Heavy Loads

Hi All,

I have a Colt Combat Commander I'd like to load with some heavy ammo. I'm pondering barrel length, and see a standard barrel installed on the Commander. Is there a problem with the extra barrel length sticking out front?

Yep....you could shoot roundball sneeze loads at soda cans or Linebaugh/Seyfried 345 gr WFN at cape buff with the same rifle. I tried to find one when they first came out, but they were about $150 more than a 30-06 at that time.
