[QUOTE="loaders_loft, post: 873598, member: 10540"] The .35 whelen is phenomenal 225 TSX or 225 accubond, or, if you can find some, the 225 ballistic tip. Nosler's 225 accubond (formerly ballistic tip) is specifically designed for this cartridge, with a BC of .430. I'm pretty sure no other .35 projectile comes close... For powder, use Varget or RL-15. The Nosler manual has the most powerful loads. I spoke with the folks at Nosler, apparently they simply applied the full pressure rating of the 30-06 cartridge to the .35 whelen and these were the loads they came up with. I recommend a very stout scope mount, bedded to reciever and scope body with blue loctite. The leupold dovetail mounts didn't hold up well to my whelen. PS. also a nice decelerator recoil pad....:) [/QUOTE]
