I've had both shoulders rotator cuff repaired, still shoot my .35 Whelen with 200 gr. RN Hornady and Remington Core-lokt bullets at .358 velocitys. Accuracy is outstanding and performance on whitetails within 100 yds. is too. The load I'm using is a Ken Waters load of 54.0 gr. of IMR 3031 and I'm very pleased with it. Last season's whitetail buck was taken right at 100 yds., a raking shot just ahead of the last two ribs passed completely thru the chest and was found perfectly mushroomed just under the hide of the opposite shoulder. The bullet retained 66% of its original weight, it destroyed the lungs and somehow the buck managed to run 40 yds. before piling up with his antlers tangled in a barb wire fence.
