Haven't hunted with cast the past few years, I've gotten lazy about deer hunting since moving out here and the was Kansas does seasons favors archers very, very strong;y, so most of the time I have spent on tree stands has been with a cross bow.
I have a Santa Barbara Mauser here I've been planning for about six or seven years to turn into a .35 Whelen, always seemed like the perfect cast hunting cartridge, but since getting into the .38-55, seems I have a lot of appropriate bullets around for turning a big, bad magnum into a deer cartridge and the new Mossberg bolt rifles chambered for it seem cheap (relatively) and available. It also seems like that case would be better in this role than the .375 H&H for reduced cast loads.
ANyone done much with cast in this cartridge? I need to set up to load for another cartridge like I need a hole in my head, but at least I have all the bullet part of it figured out I should think.
