The .35 Whelen has been my choice for more than 30 yrs. now, accurate and flexible when it comes to bullet choice. I built mind on a pre'64 Winchester M/70, I had it rebored by Randall Redman and scoped it with a Leupold Var-XII 2-7x. My bullet of choice after testing most available at the time of rebore is a Sierra Game King 225gr. over IMR 4064. Recently I have been shooting Hornady Inter-lok 200gr. RN over IMR 3031 a Ken Waters Pet Load which is extremely accurate in my rifle and produces excellent results on whitetails. Off season I shoot a lot of cast bullet and pistol bullet loads, most are propelled by Unique. A final note is that because there have been reports here on the 'Fire of problems with JES rebores, I would choose another to do the rebore work.
Do you have first hand knowledge of problems with JES rebores? I have heard far more positive stories than negative.
