[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1962826, member: 60453"] I guess I've just grown older and not so much smarter, because I just got my second Whelen. William Trotter made it for me using a Remington 700 action and a 26 inch E. R. Shaw barrel with a 1 in 14 inch twist. He put a Magpul stock on it and it already had a Timney trigger in it. The loads for my other .35 shoot great in it, so I don't have to do much to make it accurate. I'm getting around 0.7 inch groups with both Sierra 225 grain and Speer 250 grain bullets and RL15 or CFE 223. I had him mount a Shepherd P2 scope on it, and at 8,000 ft, it matches up for shots to 700 or 800 yards. I haven't chronographed this rifle yet, but the same loads in my 24" Remington shoot around 2725fps for the Sierra and 2675fps for the Speer. And yes, its a hammer with either load, and out to around 500 yards, easily. Chest exit wounds on mulies and whitetails are fist-sized at 400 yards. [/QUOTE]
