Ah Ha! How about the Northforks in 35cal?

Some of you will remember the post on Game Kings versus triple shocks etc. Well, nobody recommended the Northforks, but I looked around and the feedback seems to be pretty good. So, for now I have ordered some more of the Sierras and the 250 speers to get me through my pig hunt. But then I was planning on getting some of the Northforks, can anybody tell me if they have used the 35cal (225 and 250g) Northforks and how they liked them?

Thanks guys.

PS
If they work out well I may end up using them in my other rifles too for hunting rounds (remington cor-locks make real cheap plinkers).

Mike should be able to get them to you right away. I used the 250 grain bullet, RP cases, Fed210 primers and 56.5 grains of RE15 in my 24" barreled FN Mauser. I think you could start here with no problems because of your AI chamber. Go with the 250 over the 225 for african game(or pigs). You should be able to get 2600 fps with the Improved chamber and if accuarcy is good I would stop screwing around right there and go hunting since you don't have much time.
