[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 1018101, member: 306"] It was short throated and I'm guessing they wanted at least bullet dia or close to that in the neck. They made some short bullets for the 35 Whelen like Sierra 200gr Pro Hunter RN and bullet length is .873", if you just add bullet length and case length 2.494"+.873"= 3.387". You put .300" in the neck your OAL be 3.087". You be fine with some of the heavier 225gr just have more bullet in the neck. They do makes some long bullets like 225gr and it's 1.375" long and from ogive forward is .765". On the 35 WhelenAI they increased body length and dia at the shoulder over 35 Whelen case so you got little more case capacity. Myself I'd leave it as is and enjoy it. I'm shooting 35 WhelenAI also on Rem 700 with Kreiger barrel. Mine is throated for those 225AB and couple others so I'm not able to shoot some shorter bullets and you have better selection. I tried couple powders but R-15 shot the best. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
