I load for four rifles in 35 Whelen. Two are mine, a Ruger and an Encore with and MGM Barrel, my son's Encore and a neighbor's CVA. All four are tack drivers with IMR-4064 pushing Barnes 225 TSX. I am getting a tad under 2700 fps from the Ruger and a tad over 2700 fps with the Encore. Encore has a 26" barrel and the Ruger a 24" barrel. I have not chronographed the CVA yet. I load with 59 grains or 58 grains. Three like 59 grains. The CVA likes 58 grains. Accuracy in all four is excellent.

There was no greater freedom than when I would leave Holiday Park Fish Camp heading my airboat west toward the Big Cypress. Fuel for 4 days, a good machete, an ice chest. No phone, no radio. Just God and me and the Everglades.
