Anyone Handle the Current Ruger #1S in 35 Whelen?

Do tell on the bullet. You've stumped me!

It's a hard cast bullet from an NOE mold. NOE calls it the "Thumper". It weighs in at 300 grains with the HP and I am getting 1 hole 5 shot groups at 100 using 52 grain s of WC852F in my current 35 Whelen AI. Have not chronographed the load yet, and I am sure it isn't, but I think it will get the job done.

Beautiful wood, great find. I too was curious about the bullet. They'll look good together.

Very cool 5Shot. I've never shot a cast bullet through my Whelen. That looks like it'll be wicked.

Does that bullet expand pretty well. Looks evil :twisted:

I'll be doing some expansion tests this spring.

Awesome. Can't wait.

Very nice lumber on that 1!
