a 6.5lb 375 ruger rifle seems like it would have about the recoil of a 458 win out of a 9lb rifle, a hair more possibly. That's just playing with some numbers from my hornady reloading manual and a recoil calculator with 300gr bullets. For however accurate those calculators actually are. That's...

Since it's so hard for you to get ammo sounds like a good excuse to start handloading, at least you got a bit of brass now

Figure I'd give one last update. After listening to everyone here i decided to send it back to winchester to be repaired and after a few weeks I got the rifle back. Problem still not fixed. They said they reworked the bolt and feed rails and did something to the ejector (still looks like the...

I don't have any experience with that ammo specifically but i have taken 5 deer with my marlin 1895gbl 45-70 all at about 80-100yards or maybe a little bit more. It wallops them to say the least, never had to track one even with not the best shot placement, I tend to shoot a lil high sometimes...

I'm not gonna lie I did come across those before but I read some reviews and got kinda sketched out. something about someone blew up their whelen, of all guns, with hawk bullets, twice even. Also read some things about the core of the bullet shooting out the barrel but the jacket getting stuck...

Everytime I see the 35 whelen mentioned it reminds me to scour the internet hoping a manufacturer has finally made a batch of bullets over 250gr like the heavy a frames or woodleighs but always to no avail. I got a hawkeye with a 12 twist begging for some heavy bois. Barnes could at least make a...

Another interesting update. They did send me an ejector based off my serial number. The face of the ejector they sent looks nothing like the one currently in my rifle with that protrusion on it. So one of them is wrong lol. They sent me part # u35w000011. Been struggling to find an ffl that will...

At least as an update for my situation a gunsmith at winchester looked at some pictures I emailed and apparently all he said was it needs to come back to fix it, wouldnt specify what he saw to the customer support person helping me. Was hoping it was just an ejector and they were prepared to...

I got some better pictures and actually found someone at winchester/browning customer support to try and have one of their gunsmiths look at them. If ejector looks too short they will mail one to me, if not then i will send in the rifle, i understand for them doing stuff by pictures over the...

Those are definitely some good points I'll have to tinker around with, appreciate the advice. I wonder if it is true the ejector is not sticking out enough and that the head of the cartridge is able to go back far enough that it's actually sliding over that metal bar looking thing that sits...

yeah it seems to hold it but not much, if i start to kinda move it around in the air slightly it will pop out and fall though,

here ya go. i guess i could try giving it a good cleaning and see if that made a difference. See anything outta the ordinary?

its a new box of ammo. it's federal safari ammunition 400gr a-frames, tried using a couple rounds in the box that hadn't been cycled yet and no difference

Just got told my new production 2025 model 70 safari express .416RM will have to be sent back to Winchester for repair after a phone call with them. I have 2 issues with it. Firstly the rounds don't push into the magazine if they are too far rear sitting up against the boltface/ejector area...
