I have three rifles in .35 Whelen. I've only played with two loads, 3.0 gr. of H335 with the 250 gr. Speer Hot Core and 250 gr. Hornady SP and RN. Velocity riuns the 2525 to 2550 FPS range and accurcy vaies from one inch to 1.25" depending on the rifle. My serious pet load is 60.4 gr. of Re15, Remington brass, Winchester WLR primer and the 225 gr. Barnes TSX bullet. That one is usable only in my custom Mauser and is definitely too hot in the Ruger M77 and Reminton M700 Classic. Start at least 2 gr. lower and work up. Accuracy in the Mauser runs from .50 to .75" depending on how well I'm shooting on any particular day.
Results on the two cow elk were very good, both one shot kills, one at 150 yards and the other at 325 to 350 yards as estimated by my guide and hunting partner. Anyone who says a .35 Whelen will not reach out and touch something has a lot to learn. :roll: :wink: :lol: :lol: It is very rapidly becoming my all time favorite rifle/cartridge combo.

Targets such as those give me a warm, fuzzy feeling. Great loads and great shooting, Scotty.
