In Louisiana we have what us called a "Primitive Wespon Season" in which an exposed hammer single shot 35 caliber or larger qualifies. So I purchased an 1885 highwall in 30-06 and sent it to Jess Rebore and he rebored it to 35 Whelen with a 1 in 10 twist.
I tried 3 different factory loads in it, the 180 grain TTSX Vortex, the 200 grain Hornaday Superformance and the Nosler 225 grain Accubond
I shot a 3 shot group with each at 100 yards with a front rest on the rifle forearm on 1 knee with no upper body support. I am very pleased with the rifle
