I am newer to reloading, my Dad did it for me for years until I moved 4 hours away. I have two .35 Whelens. My Ruger I have set up and rolling good with a 225gr AB Load. My 20" barrel Mauser I want to get up with a different load (Why? Just because....). I'm looking for to load a 250gr bullet in it. Used 250gr Remington factory so far in it with very good results both accuracy and terminal. Gun will be used mostly for NY and PA Whitetails, Black Bear if I ever get a chance. I realize I'm over gunned, but just really like the Whelen. I'd really like to find a 250gr Round Nose, but am not set on it.
