Thanks for the education in all things QL. Did some case prep this morning, hope to load some in the next few days. Will let you guys know velocity, accuracy, any pressure signs, etc when I shoot in the next week or two, looking forward to this.

That is awesome, DrMike. Really appreciate the info! Regardless, CFE223 looks like a great niche powder for the 35 AI. Rodger, I shoot Remington 35 Whelen headstamped bulk brass. Fireforming consists of a moderate charge of a powder I want to use up and the 200 grain Speer TMJ .357 bullet...

Thanks guys, now to turn in my homework! 200.5 gr fired case as it comes out of the rifle 277.7 gr weight filled to meniscus brim w/de-oxygenated H2O 77.2 gr H2O capacity. I really appreciate the assist with this! Look forward to the numbers with IMR4064, XBR8208 and TAC but I understand if...

Thanks fellows! I read up on the QL thread today, and the only thing I didn't do when I gave the 69 gr capacity measurement to Rodger a while back was to de-oxygenate the H2O. I am doing that overnight and will measure tomorrow. The step loading chart shows 57,000 psi, approx, as near...

SJB358, DrMike, Wondering if you could run the numbers for the 200 gr TTSX with IMR4064 and also XBR8208, RL17, TAC? Trying to get a comparison of where I am (IMR4064) and what, at least on paper, might be gained by the other 3 powders using a relative comparison from QL. Want to take the...

I am a heavy bullet/frontal diameter guy, I primarily hunt elk and have taken a few over the years. I have a perfectly good 300 Win Mag that took my best bull elk to date, at 324 lasered yards shooting a 180 Barnes XBT back in 1999. However, since having my 35 Whelen AI built in 2002, I have...

Few pics... 300 yd target, 200 TTSX @2925 Mv, 3" high at 100 yds sight in. Small tear in target next to lower bullet hole is from peeling back the tape to take the pic. Unfired and recovered 200 gr X and 250 gr X with 200 TTSX for comparison. Both went from stem to stern on elk, haven't...

Thanks SJB358 and DrMike! Been a busy summer and want to dial in on which of the newer powders I listed is potentially the best velocity wise (compare to IM4064 as well) and start there for times sake. I am back at school full-time as a mid-lifer, getting my Masters degree. I.E. I would like...

So much good 35 Whelen/AI stuff over here in the Nosler forum! Rodger, thanks for the heads up to come over and check it out vs "Shooters Forum" (hbonser over there). Finally have the fall hunting bug to get my juices flowing at the reloading bench. I have a lot of 35 AI experience with...
