QL Request

[5shot]

If anyone is bored, and has a bit of extra time, would you mind running the following:

35 Whelen AI, 275 Grain Woodleig PP, Water capacity measured was 74.9 grains, barrel length 22", 3.375 Cartridge OAL, 61K PSI.

I am probably looking at using RL17, as I have some on hand, and it gives good velocity, based on other QL Calculatons. I should have my rifle back soon, and will spend some time this winter loading & testing some different recipes.

Thanks,

John

Thanks as always Dr. Mike! I've accumulated quite a few components for this one. I'll have quite the write up when I'm done!

Looking forward to your assessment.
