.358 BT w/ AB data?

[coop4u2c]

I have some 225gr. Ballistic Tips to use in my .35 Whelen.
My question is can I use the data in my Nosler #6 manual for 225gr. Accubonds?
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

You can use the 225 gr AB load data for the 225 gr BT bullet in your 35 Whelen.
As always, start low and work up.

Yes you can. Work up from 53 to 60 grains (if you gun will go that high) of RL-15.

Can't wait to hear how RL15 works with your rifle. I haven't heard of many that didn't like RL15. It is almost tailor made for the Whelen shooting 225-250gr bullets. Mine likes 60gr of RL15 for the 225gr TSX and 59 for the Speer 250. What rifle are you shooting? Scotty

How is your load work coming Coop? Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your loads with the 225gr AB and RL15. Haven't heard of many rifles that didn't like them. Scotty

JD338,

Will we ever see some 200 grain accubonds or ballistic tips for the 35 caliber?

 

[SJB358]

Man I hope so! Scotty

Yes Start with RL 15. You should max out at 2675 or so.
