CFE 223 and Big Game in 35 Whelen

[wvbuckbuster]

I think I remember reading somewhere someone maybe Fottis using CFE223 in the 35 Whelen but not sure. Is or has anyone using it or Big Game powder in the 35 Whelen? H4895 and RL15 is giving good groups just looking for options. Bullet weight mostly 225 gr but also 200gr possible. Thanks, Dan.

I use CFE 223 in my 35 Whelen Ackely improved with good results but never tried it in the standard version.

I need to work it up from there.

If you really want to make the 35 Whelen sing, give it a Weatherby free bore and lengthen the magazine so you can seat the bullets longer.
My 35 Whelen Ackley Imp is based on a M70 controlled round push feed action with a 25"-barrel 1-12 twist and a 375 H&H magazine box.
