They do the same thing. Biggest difference is Whelen brass can be formed by simply running.30-06 brass through a .35 Whelen sizing die. The 9.3 brass can be formed from ‘06 brass by several sizing steps and fire forming. Just too much work. A guy could always just purchase properly head...
I survive on H335, IMR4064, CFE223, and W760. I much prefer ball powders because of how well they meter. IMR4064 is just so versatile that II put up with it’s crappy Lincoln log kernels.
Good to know. Thanks for the positive reports. Can’t be too careful these days. It’s sad we have been conditioned to doubt most everything. Hard to find brass and bullets is right up my alley. I will check them out. Thanks

I have been using the 180 gr hot cores in my 35 Whelens for the last 6 years. I run them at 2900 fps in my 24” and 2800 in my 22” barrel I have shot 11 deer so far with them with great performance. Closest shot was 40 yards when I shoulder punched a large whitetail doe. Caliber size entry and...
