I just posted in the big bore forum. I just bought a 35 Brown Whelen. Don't listen to the naysayers! There's always someone who has to say that their choice is superior. I suspect that they have a short dick and can't help writing how their thoughts are superior to others' thoughts.
Loaddata has some loads which came from an Handloader article.
Ackley has a short write up in his "Handbook for Shooters & Reloaders". He claims to get 200 FPS over the Whelen with 300 grain bullets, 200 FPS with 250 grain, and 150 FPS with 220 grain bullets.
I was looking at Loaddata and comparing 35 Brown Whelen with 350 RM (I have two 350 RM's) and the increase looks to be similar.
Having wrote that I wonder if those Brown Whelen loads were pressure tested.
