I would like to pick up some 250 gr 35 cal bullets for a 35 whelen. would like some speers but will try anything. I have tried 200 and 225 grainers but couldn't get them to shoot to good. or if you have any advice on whelen I would appreciate it too.

just input: my customized FN Mauser 35 Whelen Imp loves 250 gr Hornady RN much more than any other bullet, w 3031 or RL 15

Several powders work well in .35 Whelen, but I got best velocities with Varget and Reloader 15. The Speer 250 HotCor kills very well, and without a lot of bloodshot meat. I shot several deer at close range broadside right through the center of both shoulder blades and didn't loose but maybe a 2" diameter hole all the way through.
Curious why you couldn't get the 200's and 225's to shoot well.

I'd get rid of the bump/free float the bbl. If the 225's won't shoot, I doubt the 250's would do any better.
IMR4064 or R15.

the bump is gone and the rifle is bedded. crown looks good too. tried all powders mentioned except 3031. I cant get close to the lands with the 200s and I thought maybe 250s would help that. rl 15 has given the best results.

58 grains of imr 3031 gives me great accuracy with 225 accubonds and over 2800 fps

If you're still interested in 250 gr. 35 bullets, I have a full box (100) of Hornady SP and a full box (50) Nosler Partitions. Would sell both for $85 shipped.
