Opinions want
« on: April 30, 2013, 04:21:29 AM »
Hello to one and all, it's been a while since I've posted anything. Please note, neither of these barrels are for sale. When I decide which one I will keep I will give the other one to my son. I have acquired in the last year a 358 JDJ no break and a 411 JDJ magported barrels. Each one had a box of shells with which I shot both are pretty stiff on a hand, but manageable. They are both 14 inch. Since I no longer go to Africa or Australia to hunt and have not hunted moose or grizzly and quite a while. I really have no use for either one, but I would like to keep one of them. The big question is I have to buy dies for either one. I can get the dies for $80 for either one.  I shoot a 357 JDJ in both pistol and rifle. I do have rifles and pistols. They go from a 22 to 460 Weatherby, so the actual need for either one is not a question. Would really like to know the advantages and disadvantages of these two cartridges. So the big question is," if You had to choose between which one would you wanted to keep, which one would you keep? Any replies would be greatly appreciated, and possibly a little reason why you would keep the one you decided on.
Thank you

Since the mention of things that could be for sale get people going, DO NOT post anything about buying either of these barrels here.  The first post offering to buy or asking for a price and the thread will be gone.

Keep the one that tickles your fancy.  I would not want either one of them because I'm interested in other things.

I'd keep the 411 (even though I never liked any of my cannon barrels ported).   Why the 411?   Not a lot of them out there, the 358's are a dime a dozen so to speak.

I have taken a vow not to get any more barrels that shoot different bullets than I already have.  For this reason, my pick would be the 358 JDJ.

I wouldn't keep anything that was ported.
