Hi folks, long time lurker, first time poster.....

I just wanted to pipe up on this 35 Whelen thread - I've been playing with a new Hawkeye starting off with the 225 Sierra, and just wasn't impressed with the the "traditional" powders. Achieved so-so accuracy and velocity with the standards, so tried Alliant Varmit. Accuracy immediately improved to the ~1-1.25 range with velocities approaching 2700 in my 22" barrel. Looks like a keeper in my rifle, but I'm early in the development process. Just my .02 worth.

Great thread!
