35 Whelen Loads

[DrMike]

The O.A.L. of 3.340, how is that measured in the quick load program?

From base to tip, same as always. SAAMI OAL.

Thanks DrMike that's what I thought been reading too much, that's how I always measured it in the past.

By the way when the 200gr Hornaday is loaded to 3.340 that only leaves .28 inches of bullet in the case neck.

Since I have some 225 ABs I was wondering what they will do with IMR 4064. I'll be using this powder till I can get some RL 15 or some Varget.

It will work. May not be the best powder, but it will get you moving.

or a maximum loading ratio or filling of 110 %
These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.

Thanks DrMike I have several options you have listed, WW760 is one also.

Well I guess I've entered the Geek world of reloading . I took my lap top with me into my reloading cave and used it for loading info instead of a manual. :shock: :roll: :lol:

I picked up some Varget today and was wondering if I could get a QL for the 200gr Hornaday,225AB,250PT and the 250Hot Core. Couldn't find a RL15 or RL17.
