cogitating on this concept.

Recall my earlier post of a used older TC Contender with a Super 14 barrel in 35 Remington.

I compared the 35 Remington and other rounds in the 35 caliber family. According to what has been posted Gary's 355 GNR is pushing a 180 grain bullet at 2300 and a 200 grain at 2200+ out of a 12 inch barrel. I am going to assume that a 14 inch barrel will gain maybe 50 to possibly 100 feet per second in velocity.

This puts the round in league with the old 356 Winchester rifle. I recall when this round came out with the 30 Winchester it was touted as better than sliced bread.

I am thinking this would be a great medium and possibly large game round. Not too hand punishing but powerful enough for deer, bear, antelope, wild hog and possibly push it in the elk and moose class.
