<br>Stocker has some good advice on the 35 whelen
<br>
<br>I could be some what confusing on the twists for the whelen, so you can use the advice or throw it in the trash.
<br>
<br>I built a 35 whelen AI last year, haven't taken it hunting yet, but I've made a half dozen trips to the gun range.
<br>I decided to go with the 200 gr exclusively with the 35 whelen, so I order a shilen 1-14" twist and haven't regreted it since I first shot it.
<br>I chronied 2 five shot groups, the first averaged 2711, and the second was just a little faster.
<br>At a 100yds I haven't had any keyholes just nice round .35 holes.
<br>
<br>I'm sure the 1-12" twist would work just fine for your bullet needs, but 1-14" seems to work great with the 200gr bullets.
<br>
<br>Good hunting!
