Hi Fotis, the load for my 35 Whelen is as follows 225gr. AB over top of 60.0grs. of RL15.
I chronograph at 2715fps.

PS. 6mm you know western Montana is not that far come up for a weekend we could barbeque a steak or 2 :wink: maybe some Moose sausage as well.

Blessings
Dan

Hi Charlie, I wasn't lucky enough to get a Elk this year but as the saying goes a Swamp donkey is a good second :wink:.

Blessings,
Dan

That sounds very tempting Dan. I've been to your fare city a couple of times on boxing trips when a young lad. I remember being amazed at the size of it and the newness. The people up there treated us so kindly, and even though we are neighbors, they really did have a lot of questions for us foreigners. It was a great experience.

Congrats on some good eating

There is not much from the bush that will taste better than the meat of a young cow moose. Dan, you did well.

 

[sask boy]

Well guys, I am just having toast & coffee I have planned a day of loading, cleaning rifles & cleaning up a messy man cave
Will have the Lap top with me.
PS. Will weigh that recovered 35 cal bullet.

Blessings,
Dan

Congrats! Nice work

Excellent job! Would love to hear the story.

 

[sask boy]

Hi Guys, I am not sure if I post this or not but I weighed the recovered 225gr. AB and it weighed 197grs.
I am pleased with that as it did go through the right shoulder and was in the hide.

Blessings,
Dan

Sounds pretty solid. That is excellent retention for an AB..

That's why I like the 225 in the Whelen, it's real stout.
