   UPS says my Shaw replacement barrel is coming.Three month to the day almost, that's what the claim it will take. 358 win 1x12 twist threaded mussel and 4 straight flutes blued small shank, savage magnum taper 22" long. It's like waiting for Santa on Christmas night. Although I wont be putting it on till after at least one deer with the 6.5 needmoor barrel. The needmoor has taken 4 coyote and some P dogs but not a deer/antelope. I know the 6 and a half it a better choice for deer and even more so on an antelope, But you know, I want a 35/308 just because. When I get it I'll put up a pic, and when I get it on I'll put a Pic up. As I work up a load I'll do pics, THAN when the first blood you know I'll put pics up. But all that will likely be some time in December.

	Sure the 6.5 will have a flatter trajectory; but the 358 is way 'cooler'.

	That's exciting. I agree. The cool factor is worth as many points as a flat trajectory. Maybe one more.
	I have always considered myself to be quite the bullshitter, But ocasionally it is nice to sit back and listen to a true professional......So, Carry on.
