...I have always loaded Re 15 with 250 grain bullets.
Great article that seems to empasize velocity and not so much accuracy results - at least in the tables given. As a long time user of the 35 Whelen it's nice to read about it every now and then in a major magazine. It usually gets the good press it deserves and this article is similar.
However IMO ReL 15 didn't get used to it's potential in that article - only pushing a 250 out at a high of 2344 with the top load 56gr load listed. With the same 250gr bullet one of the darling powders highlighted - H4895 - churned it out the door at 2574 (2592 with another 250) - using over published max loads. That's quite a difference in velocity. Many including myself do a lot better than 2344 with 250s and ReL15 without any excess pressure.
However I use H4895 in my top 35 Rem lever gun loads - and as others here have said above I overlooked H4895 for my 35 Whelens - but I intend to try it now thanks to Mr Pierce.
