[QUOTE="greenejc, post: 1723878, member: 60453"] I just finished zeroing my .35 Whelen with both 225 grain Sierras and the 250 grain Hotcors. MV for the Hotcors averaged 2675fps, and the Sierras are loafing along at 2720fps or so. I have a Shepherd 3X10 P-2 scope on the rifle, and shot the 600 yard steel using the 600 yard circle. Both loads center punched the 18" plate. I also verified the loads at 500 yards on paper, and they hit within 3 inches of point of aim at that distance. My rifle is a Remington CDL with a 1 in 16 inch twist 24 inch barrel. I also zeroed both my M77mkII and my 1903A3 with Sierra 200 grain GKs. Velocities were 2635fpsAve for the -03 and 2600fps ave. for the Ruger. Final shots were on steel at 600 yards again. Neither the -06 or the Whelen are particularly short range with proper loads. And the Whelen is just fun to load for and shoot. [/QUOTE]
