Found this interesting , me and my dad where shooting 1/2" steel plates at 75 yards over the weekend his Marlin 336 in 35 remington with factory 200sp put a nice dent in it and my savage 99 in 308 using high energy federal 180's also put a nice dent in the plate.But when i shot my new handi rifle in .25/06 using remington 100 PSPCL they went clear through every time, the federal 85 grain ballistic tips didn't but those remington's zipped right through.Just thought i would share that with you guys.those 308's were close so i would think maybe a 30/06 might go through and i am curious to se what the 35 whelen does with factory 250 PSP, I finaly get to pick up my new remington 750 next saturday so i'll give it a try. Later Tanoose
