I had a Whelen built on a Weatherby Vanguard action. The '06 barrel was junk from the start so I just had a custom built on the action. 25" shilen barrel #4 contour, B&C stock, trigger job. Weighed 10 1/2 lbs with scope, ammo and sling. Killed a few animals with it. In a fit of foolishness I sold it after 18 years. Wish now I had it back. That gun really liked 60gr of RL15 under a 225 Nosler Ballistic Tip. Chrono said the ave was right at 2800fps. The gun also liked the Federal 225 TBBC and the chrono read right around 2690fps for an average. Both of those were under an inch at 100yd with the Ballistic Tips consistent at 5/8" three shot groups. Yea, wish I hadn't of sold that darn thing.
