The 225 AB is my bullet of choice in my Whelen. I have shot a moose, several elk, and african plains game with that bullet. I have not had to track any wounded game with this cartridge / bullet combo. It puts them down hard. I I have a few recovered bullets I'll post when I get home.
Seems like a heck of an all-rounder in the Whelen. Decent flight characteristics also, especially when loaded to 2,700 or so.
I shoot them at .358win speeds in a Whelen and I can't get a deer or a hog to stop one. Good damage to vitals also, even with the lower MV.
