Well, my pet load for the .35 Whelen is the 225 gr. Barnes TSX loaded to 2710 FPS with Rl15. The charge is 60.4 gr. but start well below that. The load is fine in my custom Mauser but has proved to be too hot in a Remington M700 Classic. Accuracy is superb and the load smacks elk down like the Hammer of Thor.
I started out with 250 gr. bullets but a special hunt I went on required monometal bullets so worked up the TSX load. I never went back to the 250 gr. bullets. I have some 225 gr. Nosler Accubonds and Partitions to try but just haven't gotten around to it.
