[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1828663, member: 105990"] To many 35 Whelens have used a 1-16 twist. Col. Whelen and Mr. Howe were wonting to use up to 300gr. bullets and used 1-14 and 1-12 twist. The 1-14 is perfect for 275gr. and 280gr. bullets. Woodleigh and Hawk makes good .358 275gr. bullets and Swift makes a 280gr. a-frame bullet. The 1-12 is perfect for 300 and 310gr. bullets. Hawk makes 300gr. bullets, Woodleigh makes 310gr bullets in both soft point and full metal jacket. I have a savage I rebarreled with an E.R. Shaw barrel that is a 1-14 twist, and a Montana Rifle Co. AVR with a 1-12 twist. I have not tried the heavy bullets at this time but I will get to it. I think that if more rifles would have used the faster twist the 35 Whelen would be readily accepted for use any where the 9.3x62 is used. I have read where it was stated that the reason the 35 Whelen is not aloud for dangerous game is because the 1-16 twist will not stabilize the 275 to 300gr. bullets. I have read many reviews were guys have used theirs in Africa with Nosler partition, Swift A-frames and Woodleigh bullets the PH said they would allow them to use it on cape buffalo, and there are some that have taken cape buffalo with the 35W with very good success and their PH's where very satisfied and impressed with it's performance.
