Awesome, should be perfect for grouse! Might need to get some 36 cal round balls and try that in my 35 Whelen. Where did you get your data from?

Should allow you to bring home a limit of grouse, or squirrel, or rabbit, or...

I might need to try something like that with my 375 H&H...

I use to shoot 110gr bullets in my 300wm with 10grs of Red Dot. Those were over 1000fps.
