Hi all and thanks for looking at my post. My topic involves a few questions.
I have been itching for a 35 Whelen since I first heard about the caliber. It seems like a rifle for any North American big game. Mind you, I only hunt white-tail deer. However, sometime down the road I may be able to expand my big game choices. Anyway, I found one that I really like, for a price I’m willing to pay.
It’s a CVA SR4911S Scout V2 Break Open, Stainless barrel with Black Stock.
Does anyone have comments or criticisms on this rifle?
Or the CVA Scout V2 in any caliber?
My other question concerns ammo. It is in short supply and crazy expensive when you find it. I already reload ammo. The components are available for the 35 Whelen cartridges. I would just need to get the dies, brass and projectiles. I’m set on suitable powder and primers.
Second question: Has anyone started out with a caliber and only shot hand loaded ammo? No factory ammo.
I hope I have been clear on my information needs. If not, feel free to ask for more information.
