My Whelen story is this.
Most people around here shoot Whelens in either T/C Encores or Handi rifles during primitive season. Most that handload use RL15 and 225gr SGK or NAB. The 2 loads I was referred most were 59.5gr and 60.0gr. I started at 59 with no pressure signs and fair group. 59.5 no pressure and better group (about MOA). 60.0 gr the recoil knocked me backwards in my chair! Still no pressure signs on first shot casing so tried the second one with same effect. Decided not to fire the third one and I hunt with the 59.5gr load.
There was a TREMENDOUS difference in that last 1/2 grain!
