I'll have to weight some when I finish with the sale of the M99. I want to concentrate on that right now.
I have both Remington and Nosler brass. Remington is twiced fired and Nosler is once fired and some virgin.

Scotty,
Varget looks to be a good powder for the 35 Whelen but not quite as fast as RL 15.

I visited the Hodgdon web site E - manual and ran the loads for the recommended powders for the 35 Whelen and noticed that the lighter bullet performed best with faster burning powders. With Hodgdon powders you would have to keep 3 different powders on hand to get the most out of the 35 Whelen according to their E - manual.

Or just settle on one do-it-all load and stock up for that load alone.
I like doing that with my hunting rifles. The rifle is always sighted-in, and I know exactly what to expect for trajectory & accuracy.

Can't find any RL15 locally or I wouldn't be looking for alternatives. Hate paying hazmat shipping because of Gov. regs. which is a joke. D cell batteries and house hold chemicals is more dangerous than gun powder. :roll:JD338":34nt3rnu said:
When I find some or a powder that works best I'll stock up on some and it will be my go to powder. I don't like to 20 different powders sitting around taking up space. :mrgreen:

Good to have a plan B. Hopefully you will find some RL 15.
