[QUOTE="mindcrime, post: 1904338, member: 656"] I was in the same quandry as I built a packable AR-10......[B]I went with the 358 Win and LOVE THAT CALIBER!!! (I also love my 35 Whelen!!!) I think a 358 Win might perform pretty well with a max range of 400 yards. [/B]My dad FLATTENED two Elk with my 35 Whelen and 225 gr. TSXs, right near 300 yards (275 yards in reality), and the 358 Win is pretty darn close to my 20" barreled Whelen/Mauser. The 358 Win can also be loaded with 180-220 grain bullets intended for the 35 Rem's lower velocities if you want even more explosive expansion at longer ranges. I really liked the 375 Raptor, however I didn't want to shorten the ".308 Win" case, like you have to do with the Raptor. Plus, most of the 375 caliber bullets are intended for 375 H&H velocities, IMHO. I've REALLY considered turning MY XP-100 into a 358 Win, but I am wanting to shoot a little farther. :cool: [/QUOTE]
