[QUOTE="RevJim, post: 1743941, member: 86754"] I used both the original Barnes 250X and 200X from a 35 Whelen Ackley Improved. You can get pretty much the same ( or so close) velocity with these newer powders in a standard Whelen. Anyhow, I got the same results with the 200x as I did for the 250x! I worked up a load with the newer 200TTSX but never killed game with it. I would start "right there" if I were you! I used 58gr of H322, you probably couldn't go that high, but its a good powder. BTW, I took a Black Wildebeast with that 200X at a lasered 347yds with a hold on top edge of his back. I was zeroed +2 at 100. I shot a zebra at 250yds with it too, base of the neck. Never recovered a bullet. [/QUOTE]
