[QUOTE="rcerro, post: 1155371, member: 59088"] Are you shooting factory ammo or reloads? The Whelen has a very slight shoulder and if you push the shoulder too far back when full length sizing it can create a headspace issue. It might not be a firing pin or spring issue at all. I'm sure a gunsmith can adress the feeding issue. Though not a true long range cartridge the 35 Whelen can be pretty versatile when hand loaded. I load Barnes 200gr TTSX over 2900fps with IMR 8208 XBR and it shoots pretty flat and hits pretty hard. It really is a fantastic cartridge and kills right now. Good luck with your rifle build whatever you decide. [/QUOTE]
