I am rethinking some stuff, so to speak.

I have a 14" 375 JDJ and a Super 16 45-70. Both kick on each end.

I recall reading an old specialty publication from Shooting Times on Handgun Hunting . I believe it was Dick Metcalf who wrote the story. It was about hunting mule deer and antelope. He used a 375 JDJ on both if I am not mistaken.

I am thinking that the 355 with a 180 grain bullet would be ideal for most North American game without punishing your hand all that much. Also it would not beat the frame as much

Something interesting to chew on. - WB, 2018-03-21, 13:23

        I can attest the bullet design is tops! - WB, 2018-03-21, 18:30
    - Even though the "non-tapered" case has little or no push on - RA, 2018-03-21, 14:58
