35 Whelen

I got my trigger back from the smith and hit the range this morning.
56.0 grains of Varget/250 Hot Cor/Hornady Brass/CCI 200 primer.



The group before this one was .75" with a .01" longer COAL. I think I am going to load up a few more just to verify and if they repeat, I will be one happy camper with a cool little pump action rifle that will be great in the woods and swamps of northern WI.

Gotta make you happy to see this result. I would be happy with .75 so this would be a plus.

That is a great group, nice shooting and bench work.

Thanks for the complements. Having the trigger tuned is what helped more than anything. It is not perfect but for a factory pump gun the trigger is a lot better. I can't wait to put one of those 250 Hot Cors into some milk jugs.

Should be most instructive.

Those Whelens do shoot well for a big 35 Caliber, Nice shooting WT.
