I’ve never had ANY .35 Whelen misfires with tons of Remington and Federal factory ammo or my handloads. That is from a sample of several thousand dating to 1989. I do not doubt that Remington QC could be a culprit in excessive headspace. All the Remington ammo that I have fired was purchased around 1990 or so. None since Federal loaded the TBBC. HAPPY TRAILS
