Where are you off to mate and how long.

The destination is the Newly Weds or Nearly Dead's Island, Norfolk. I think we are far closer to the later than the first. just for a week.

If you have some evidence that case shape affects burning rate I would very much like to see it. If I am proven to be wrong I will gladly change my opinion and thank you for setting me straight.
Allow me to quote from The Big Book of Gun Gack (Barsness, 2015) page 309.

"A few years ago my friend Charlie Sisk, the well-known custom riflesmith from Texas, built a heavy-barreled .300 H&H and shot the rifle with a half-dozen handloads in his indoor range. He then rechambered the same barrel for the .300 WSM and tried the same powders and bullets. Muzzle velocities and strain-gauge pressures were carefully recorded. Guess what? The results turned out to be practically identical in every way, despite the extreme differences in case shape. The reason for this coincidence is simple: The powder capacity of both cases is practically identical."

I have, personally, seen that case shape has little, if any, effect when loading the 7x57 using 7-08 data and also when comparing identical bullets and powder charges in the .35 Whelen and .350 Rem Mag.

Kindest regards,

Great post. I love when people are loyal to a cartridge. I do it too. But it’s like when I posted about using a 338 lapua or 375 Ruger here and someone said they would laugh, but bring a 35 and I would be golden. I would shoot the same projectile at the same velocities and somehow it would be different from a different cartridge!

They were mentioning the 350RM as it the velocity is a lot lower then the other two. lets face it a 350 RM bullet is traveling a fair bit slower than a 338Lap or 375Ruger so less damage to skin and meat. Now if they said bring a 358 RUM or Shooting Times Western they would be in the 338 Lap territory.

Makes sense.

Is a bear not considered a dangerous game? Would you not want a deader bear with worse hide than vice versa?

A black bear is basically an extra furry deer with bigger teeth. They're no harder to kill than a good sized whitetail. They're not considered dangerous game.

Good to know!

The only belt I like is the on e holding my pants up. As I have said before there is nothing a belted magnum can do that a 100 year old non belted cartridge can't do just as well. 6.5 ORC necked up to 358? Just get a 35 Whelen.

So you're not a fan of the 375 H&H?

I agree they're not any harder to kill than a deer, but unless you're hunting them with dogs and they're treed, I tend to be respectful of them and I've killed 7 black bears and a few grizzlies. A 270 win with 150g Partitions or A-Frames is plenty of medicine for them. Just make sure you place your shot well
