[QUOTE="357Mag, post: 1728693, member: 106883"] Randy - Howdy ! What will you be shooting @ w/ the newest barrel ? My initial thought....... .35 Remington . A lot of XPs came in this chambering, and it's a proven performer in this platform. Don't think you'd even have to change the bolt face. I have shot a .35 Rem-based .224" caliber wildcat in my Wichita WBR1375 action w/ .308 bolt face.... and have had no problems w/ chambering or extraction. My Wichita does have an AR-15 style extractor installed, FWIW. I've also shot .357AutoMag using the same action and extractor. I had the barrel & chamber set-up to shoot it as a true .358" caliber; and not .357" cal. That helped a whole bunch on potential bullet choices. I used the gun on groundhogs out to 350yd ( longest shot I happened to take w/ it in that application ). Super-accurate, and a real hoot ! 5-shot 300yd groups @ 5/8" multiple times . With regards, 357Mag [/QUOTE]
