307 win now in hornady leverevolution
- Thread starter 6.5x55swm
- Start date
Fantastic and thanks! I see it is already listed on Midway USA store site for 30.99 US. Sure hope the price is that reasonable when CDN retailers get some. $50 + a box for Winchester PPT and waiting for them to make some every 5 years sucks! If anyone sees it in Canada please give a heads up.

Didn't think there were that many still shooting 307s.
Haven't seen a 94 in that caliber in years.

The semi rimmed 356 win was a better caliber than either the 307 win or the 375 win and it has been relegated to obsolescence by the shooting community.
Go figure.
Except for a small but loyal 35 rem following most of the 35s were non-starters.
A few die hards still have 358 win firearms and factory ammo for both the 35 rem and 358 win is still made by hornady.

I'm a die hard , I just finished putting a 358 Win together . The hornady 200 gr ammo shoots well , but I use Nosler 225 gr partitions in mine . A great round , but definitely not for the off the shelf hunter . I've used 35's for a long time with great results , but you're right , it's not a popular bore size . Excellent , more for me .

While it aint a 87grn Partition it certainly isnt far off from fruition or a distant possibility either.

I’m super interested in your project and impressed with your taste! Building a 356 has been on my list for a few years now. Can you share any details? What year of action did you use?
307 is interesting and a 356 is cool and the 375 is cool too. Why? these rounds didn't get accepted by a wider range of shooters is an unknown to me. I see the benefit in them as I do with the 358 Winchester and the 338 Federal. From a lot of years of shooting and seeing the effects on game of calibers of lesser power... I find there is definitely a place for them and if the right rifle at the right price becomes available... I would buy.
It's nothing fancy , but it works . It started life as a Stevens 200 in 7/08 in a nasty Tupperware stock . Rembo , from this site and a great guy , rebarreled it for me in 358 Win . I had an old Richards Microfit laminate stock that had been sitting in my shop for years that I fitted and I installed a Timney trigger . When everything was fitted up , a friend of mine and another CGN member , cerakoted it for me in a flat dark grey . It isn't pretty , actually it looks a bit agricultural , but it's a really handy and useful little rig . I guess I should take a pic and post it one of these days .
I also have Blargons old Remington 7600 that he rebarreled in 338 Federal . It's coated as well and he also put a Boyds dark grey laminate stock on it . There's pics of that one in the 760 club thread on this forum . I'm getting 1 to 1 1/2 inch 100 yard groups with this rifle and 210 gr Nosler Partitions , one of my favorites .

But it’s a blr. Like Volvo’s - “They’re boxy, but they’re good”. A M94 in 307/356 is ###y......and good.

The .375 Win is a great cartridge. Very unappreciated. Had a Marlin 336C with a half-magazine and a factory sling.
Great little rifle.
The .307 always struck me as an answer in search of a question.

I don't own either but on a practical level, the BLR wins hands down.
- Takes a mag system that works very well.
- Pointy bullets with a very good selection and heavier bullets
- 308 ammo everywhere from every maker
- 308 offers better ballistics
- BLR is made for scope use
- New and used BLRs are easy to find
