My show last weekend saw some nice finds. Picked up a ten pounder of W-452AA unopened for $80, a great old powder. And bought a set of 300 WM RCBS dies for $10 to go with the newly acquired 700 BDL with scope and mounts. The 700 BDL Rem 35 Whelen 1988 Classic was a nice find at $400. There was a god many folks looking to sell right, not much buying going on though. So now I have brass to make and loads to develop. I have always liked the idea of the 35 Whelen since I first read about it as a kid in the 50s. I already have a 350 RM which I bought as a barreled action, because it was supposed to be just like the Whelen, which it is.
Started making brass out of some 280 Rem brass that I had, new. It looks pretty sweet so far but I am having to go 30 to 338 to 35 in the sizing as I did not anneal it. I got 40 pieces of once fired 300 WM brass given to me at the show.
Best to all and have a great weekend.
