I have to ask, is Nosler making the 225 gr. Ballistic Tip again or do you just have a supply on hand? AFAIK, they've been discontinued for quite a while. They do make the Accubond though in 225 gr. weight. I haven't tried those in my .35 Whelen yet as I got excellent results with the 225 gr. TSX over 60.4 gr. Re15. If you try it drop back about three grains and work up. I get .50 to .80" three shot groups with that load so saw no reason to look any further.

That surprises me as I've always gotten good accuracy from Nosler Partition in every cartridge I've tried them in.
