Just for fun and comparison, here's the original ballistics of the .350 Griffin & Howe Magnum cartridge. The image below is a scan from my reprint copy of the 1930 Griffin & Howe catalog. (Also recall that James Howe was instrumental in the development of the .35 Whelen cartridge.) In...

I thought this might be of interest. TR's .405 rifle. Cheers! Bob F. :)

Just for fun... Bob F. :D

My vote is for the .270 Winchester. Why? Simply because a Winchester Model 70 rfile chambered in .270 Winchester is a classic combination of rifle and cartridge. (I like the history and nostalgia of classic rifle cartridges.) And .270 Win ammo will probably available for just about ever; just...

Colt DS-II .38 Special (with 158 gr Lead SWC-HP +P). Yeah, I'm an old school kind of guy. And so it goes... Bob F. :) (Random image from the web.)
