Many thanks for the tips and information guys. I am now on the hunt for a bargain on some 225 grain Partitions. Are factory seconds worth a look? I read once the 210 grain .338 Partitions were made tougher then the 250's because they were being driven faster, ya got me. Just wondering if the same is true for .35 caliber bullets? I am thinking 225 grains is about ideal for Alaska for hunting with a .356 Win. case. I ordered the 250 grain Kodiaks for up close and personal use.
Trying to decide on a powder and it looks like WW 748 and Varaget are good Choices.
Four of my friends use the 225 grain Accubond out of their .35 Whelen and are convinced it is the best Alaskan big game round. One of their sons used the 200 grain Speer Flat Nose out of his .358 Norma Mag. and said lung shot moose did not travel far, no kidding.
