But you can handload ultra premium ammo for $10-20 a box it's a cheap cartridge to load for .easy and cheap




dont really know why im talking bout this i really dont care .


im not saying you wrong or even implying that . what I'm try to get at is the ever day hunter aint going to take a odd ball caliber ( 338-06 or 284 win) and try to turn them into a caliber they can just go buy and ammo easy to get .


338-06 and the 35 whelen factor ammo at much difference in what they can do . i dont know but i figure if you reloaded both there still aint that much difference to the critter you kill with it ,


i do admit i wish i had started reloading in my younger years but a guy can only have so many hobbies.










Oh trust me I understand.hobbies become work once you get to involved sometimes.ive actually had to down size my handloading cartridges and sell off rifles.i couldn't keep up them all up it didn't make sense anymore...

You got to realize a lot of us are handloading junkies who shoot all the time.so on this hunting forum we aren't always most helpful
Alot of us are closer to competition shooters than hunters.to each there own

But yes we can all agree 35 Whelen is perfect Alabama deer hammer no doubt it's easy and works damn near just as close as 338-06 ..
Us bolt action gun nuts over think everything.to much time reading numbers and shooting groups

But the deer will all get killed with any of these cartridges.

Frankie we are all better off in the woods than arguing about deer . people suck.lmao
It's much more fun hunting old school.i can agree

We hunted with marlin 44mags,Marlin 30-30 , Remington 600 ,shotguns of any kind . surplus military rifles

I'm from back in the Leupold,tasco and redfield old school days.

But yeah my father started me handloading years ago it's I'm just an OCD person who is over top on everything I do.ignore me.i forget this is a hunting forum sometines and not many know my OCD tendencies.lol.
I handload same as competition shooters.

Im sure I'm on wrong forum.lol most of the time cause hunting is easy the rest is the fun part.your gear

Scouting, hunting all that's just a part of life to me.my gear is what I enjoy just cause I can
