whelen misfires?

[kennyd]

Has onyone tried to see if the Remington guys and others with the .35 have problems with the factory loads?  I can't find a 7600holic sight, or any info.  I have ran across a 30-06 with ejector new at a store and an comsidering it for my wants.  The down side is that I really wanted the Whelen and then came up with:  no more ejectors, questions about the reliability of extractors, and chamber dimensions.  I could save my nickels and get the 06 redone into an A square or .35 later.  The downside is I already have a really nice old Rem. model 30 in 06, complete with peep so would be duplicating.  Since there is a blizzard, the bakcground people are off today,

Ya missed out on an RMEF 35 Whelen with ejector and 26" barrel, but if you pm handi35, it may still be available.

I've had some problems with the 35 Whelen ammo & brass...I've called Remington a few times on it..and all I get is they are checking into it ...I've only heard of 1 person who's had trouble with their extractor..I haven't had any problems with my extractor barrels...so..I would say if you wanted a 35 Whelen Handi..order it..The pump Remmy's are hard to find..but..if this is what your wanting...Have your dealer call Zanders they are a big distributer that most of the dealers around here use.... http://www.gzanders.com/

I kow this is different from the 7600 and may not even apply. I have a Remington 700 classic deluxe in a 35 Whelen so far what 40 rounds of store bought loads all Remingtons and my reloads not yet a miss fiire or a case problem . Dropped a real nice 6 pointer with it this year.

That's what I was afraid of.  It may be that H & R is either too deep, or a large ream.  Along with going away from ejectors on HUNTING rifles, I have to think over how much I want one.  A 30-06 would do roughly the same thing I want; pointed heavy bullet, low power scope.  Now the 06 I found will probably be gone when I go back and solve the rest of the problem.
