Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Not one F*$#!ing box of 35 Whelen?

For some reason I expected it to be popular in the stores but I guess most 35 Whelen shooters are handloaders.
If more people knew about the 225 gr Ballistic Tip they would let their other rifles sit around unused. I am getting 2681 fps and tremendous accuracy from mine. In about three more weeks I can blow the cobwebs out of the barrel. Have a great time this season!

GWN, I think Capras has some. DougD

225 BT shoots lights out in mine also, but I was less then impressed with in on a smallish deer. If that bullet expended you couldn't prove it by me. Still it was only 1 deer.

Muledeer, I have many fond memories sitting at the bench loading ammo and listening to the radio. Started out with a Lymon 310 tong tool. I think everyone should handload for awhile but factory ammo has come a long way just like our calibers. It takes time to reload and most of us don't have that kind of time anymore especially those with family. Back when I was reloading in the Four Corners Area of NM we had prairie dog towns by the mile and the 222 Rem was king along with the 243 Win. You can say reloading is a kind of therapy for those with the time or need. We are talking "hunting ammo" not specialized varmint or target. Heck me with four presses and many dollars in accessories, all bitches are just preaching to the choir. -- no
