the gibbs in 35 calibre is one of the very best of best in 35 calibre rifles.  it likes Reloader 15 the best and it will sing a loud and fast song with the 250 gr bullet  with 61,5 gr  and will do about 2750 about the same as a 30/06 with the 180. and will do an hones t 2850 with the 225  with 62,5 of the R 15,   First of all I have tried the Varget and to  get the same results I had to use the same charge but the pressure was much great with varget..  as you varget is a product of australia  and R-15 is a product of Sweden and I fell it is about the same if not the same as Norma a very good product indeed. My gibbs is a 25" Montana BBL on a whitworth action butler creek stock and ther is but on scope for alaska and that is the Bushnell  3200 or 4200   I like the  2-7   .  I have always been a burris or Leapold ,person until I tried the 3200 in difficult weather and there the 3200 is just a better al weather optic.. I have some experience with a 220 speer bullet at 2940, but it is not what the gibbs was designed for..  I also have used 280 swift and 275 original barnes both too slow for a long shot..  also the new barnes is too long for the short neckon the gibbs...  I own many many rifles but my 35 gibbs is my favorite for hunting everthing except mabe a buff then it will be the 416 Taylor..  but everything else the gibbs with do fine .. even a 200 gr  hornady at 3000 will do a antelope in ..
