QL 35 Whelen

Those along with two 270's, one new one 1952 model should make Jack O'Connor consider adopting me if he were alive...maybe I can coerce Bradford. :mrgreen:
 
RL-15 is THE Powder for my 35 Whelen. I get close to 2700 fps put of my 22" barrel with a 225 AB

I get 2710 FPS with 60.4 gr. of Re15 and the 225 gr. Barnes TSX. Although the Quickload data says it's a dangerous load, case expansion, case head expansion are normal and promers are still rounded. Load seems OK in MY rifle. Sure dies a number on elk, I'll say that much for the load.
I picked up some 225 gr. Partitions and Accubonds in a trade deal so I'll see how the rifle likes those.

Paul,

I imagine that load does, indeed, do a number on elk. Fine work on your part.
